California Court of Appeal

Sentence and convictions for second degree murder and assault with a firearm, with firearm and gang-related enhancements, are affirmed where although the court erroneously excluded expert testimony offered by defendant to impeach the prosecution's gang expert and erroneously admitted testimonial hearsay through the prosecution's gang expert in violation of Crawford v. Washington (2004) 541 U.S. 36, both errors were harmless and defendant's remaining challenges are meritless.
