P. v. Turner
A jury found defendant guilty of possessing methamphetamine for sale and possessing cocaine for sale, and the court found true an enhancement based on a prior drug-related conviction. She was sentenced to six years eight months in prison, calculated as follows: three years for the cocaine conviction, a consecutive eight months for the methamphetamine conviction, plus a consecutive three years for the enhancement.
On appeal, defendant raises the following eight contentions: (1) the postsubmission substitution of jurors violated her constitutional rights; (2) the trial court prejudicially erred in refusing to excuse Juror No. 9 for misconduct; (3) the trial courts investigation into the juror misconduct was inadequate; (4) the trial court erred in denying her motion to discover information in the police personnel files; (5) the trial court erred in failing to compel the People to disclose the identity of a confidential informant; (6) the cumulative effect of these errors requires reversal of her convictions; (7) the court erred in imposing multiple punishment for her drug convictions; and (8) the courts imposition of consecutive sentences violated her constitutional rights. Disagreeing with all eight contentions, Court affirm the judgment.
