P. v. Alvarez
jury convicted Anthony Rene Alvarez (also known as Smiley) of receiving a stolen motor vehicle (Penal Code 496d, subd. (a), count 1); and receiving stolen checks ( 496, subd. (a), counts 2, 4, and 5); he was acquitted of one count of receiving stolen checks ( 496, subd. (a), count 3.) In separate proceedings, the court found true that Alvarez had four prior convictions within the meaning of the Three Strikes Law. The court sentenced him to 25 years to life.
Alvarez contends the trial court committed prejudicial error by denying both his request for a pinpoint jury instruction, and a motion for mistrial based on a claimed error under Doyle v. Ohio (1976) 426 U.S. 610, 617. Court affirm.
