P. v. George
Appellant was convicted by a jury of the murder of David Anthony Lyles. (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a).)[1] The jury also found that a principal personally used and discharged a firearm, causing great bodily injury and death ( 12022.53, subds. (b), (c), (d), and (e)), and that the murder was committed for the benefit or at the direction of a criminal street gang ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(A)). Appellant was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison. He appeals, contending that the court erred by refusing to admit evidence of a witnesss prior inconsistent statement, denying his motion for mistrial, and refusing to allow a defense witness to testify as a gang expert, and that the cumulative effect of the above errors deprived him of a fair trial and his constitutional right to due process. Court affirm.
