33 Cal.4th 234

The PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. Scott Allen JONES, Defendant and Appellant.

Supreme Court of California.

Rehearing Denied September 15, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gregory Marshall, under appointment by the Supreme Court, for Defendant and Appellant.

Bill Lockyer, Attorney General, David P. Druliner and Robert R. Anderson, Chief Assistant Attorneys General, Jo Graves, Assistant Attorney General, J. Robert Jibson and Janine R. Busch, Deputy Attorneys General, for Defendant and Respondent.


KENNARD, J.

In this murder case, the trial court removed defendant's appointed attorney because the attorney's previous representation of a man whom the defense suspected of committing the murder created a potential conflict of interest; the removal occurred notwithstanding defendant's offer to waive the potential conflict. Defendant contends the removal violated his right to counsel under the federal and the state Constitutions. We disagree.
