Description
Defendant seeks reversal of his conviction of burglary of a pickup truck. NMSA 1978, §30-16-3(B) (Repl. Pamp. 1984). He contends that he was denied a fair trial by (1) the state's opening statement, in which (a) the prosecutor said that defendant had provided a "cock-and-bull story" and (b) the prosecutor may have referred to defendant's expected trial testimony; (2) the prosecutor's efforts to inform the jury of defendant's felony convictions that were more than ten years old; (3) a conversation outside the courtroom during trial in which a police officer, who had already testified, allegedly informed an officer who had not yet testified that defense counsel was asking about discrepancies concerning the date and location of the offense; and (4) cumulative error. He also claims that the district court erred by denying a tendered instruction on attempted burglary. We affirm.
