Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. DEREAK TURNER, (Alameda County Super. Ct. No. H58999) Defendant and Appellant.
Defendant Dereak Turner appeals a judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of second degree murder. He contends the trial court abused its discretion in excluding evidence of a prior altercation in which the victim was involved; that it committed instructional error; that the prosecutor committed misconduct; that the court improperly instructed the jury to continue deliberating after it reached an impasse; and that the court erred in failing to strike a firearm enhancement. We affirm.
