P. v. Carranza
A jury convicted Anthony Carranza, Jr. of one count of commercial burglary, in violation of Penal Code section 459. He admitted a prior prison term enhancement under section 667.5, subdivision (b). The enhancement resulted from a 1995 conviction for making terrorist threats, a violation of section 422. The prior conviction was also admitted to be a strike under sections 667, subdivisions (c) and (e)(1) and 1170.12, subdivision (c)(1). Defendant was therefore sentenced to a doubled midterm for a total of four years in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends: (1) the trial court erred in jury selection; (2) the evidence was insufficient to support the burglary conviction; (3) the court erred in denying his Romero motion; and (4) the court erred in denying his motion to reduce the crime to a misdemeanor.
