Foalima

Defendant Daniel Fiamatai Foalima appeals from his conviction of first degree murder. He contends the trial court erred by (1) refusing to strike a possible accomplice’s testimony after the accomplice testified he did not know the answer to most of the questions asked him; (2) instructing the jury on accomplice testimony; (3) admitting evidence of media coverage of the murder to impeach a witness’s testimony that was recorded in an earlier trial but admitted here; (4) ordering direct victim restitution allegedly for a crime of which defendant was acquitted and that was not the proximate cause of the victim’s damage; (5) imposing jail booking and classification fines without determining defendant’s ability to pay; and (6) imposing restitution fines without determining defendant’s ability to pay.

We affirm the judgment in its entirety.
