The following excerpt is from People v. Badu, D070654 (Cal. App. 2017):
Appellate counsel also identified several possible issues under Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738: (1) Whether the trial court erred in denying Badu's motion to suppress evidence obtained without a warrant; (2) whether the court erred in denying motions for mistrial and a new trial based on testimony that violated an in limine ruling; (3) whether the court erred in admitting text messages from Badu on a witness's cell phone; (4) whether the court erred in admitting testimonial statements in violation of the confrontation clause; (5) whether the court erred in admitting transcripts of a phone call made by Badu while in jail; (6) whether the cumulative effect of these evidentiary errors requires reversal; and (7) whether there was sufficient evidence to show Badu was the perpetrator of the offenses. We provided Badu the opportunity to file his own brief but he did not respond.
