P. v. Hughes
A jury convicted Bart Richard Hughes (appellant) of possession of a fictitious or altered bill or check (Pen. Code, 476) and receiving stolen property ( 496, subd. (a)). The jury acquitted appellant of one count of possession of ammunition by a person prohibited from possession of a firearm ( 12316, subd. (b)(1)). In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found four prior prison term allegations to be true. The trial court sentenced appellant to six years in state prison and imposed various fines.
On appeal, appellant contends the trial court erred: (1) when it failed to respond to a note from the jury and to give a unanimity instruction; and (2) when it improperly ordered appellant to pay $900 for the cost of preparing his probation report. Court disagree and affirm. We agree, however, with appellants contention that the matter must be remanded for correction of the abstract of judgment, because the trial court failed to specify the statutory bases for the imposition of fines and fees.
