P. v. Valencia
Defendant was convicted after a jury trial of having engaged in a crime spree consisting of robbing seven women of their purses at three different business locations. As a result, he was found to be guilty of five counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery.
His appeal raises two issues: the denial of a live lineup and the imposition of consecutive sentences in the absence of a statement of reasons by the trial court. Court hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendants motion for a lineup. Defendant also waived his right for a statement of reasons by failing to object in the trial court and that the record fails to support a contention that defendants failure to object constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.
