Woodman v. Ackerman

Defendant and a codefendant Marguerite Anderson were charged with possession of marijuana for sale, viz., a violation of Health and Safety Code section 11530.5; were convicted by verdict of a jury; moved for a new trial, which was denied; and defendant alone appeals, contending the judgment should be reversed because (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the verdict; (2) statements by the district attorney constituted prejudicial misconduct; and (3) the court erred in refusing an instruction requested by him.
