P. v. Jones
A jury found defendant and appellant Prentice Jones guilty of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211)[1]and attempted second degree robbery ( 664/211). The jury also found true the allegation that defendant personally used a firearm. ( 12022.53, subd. (b).) In a bifurcated court trial, defendant admitted being on bail at the time of the offenses ( 12022.1) and having a strike conviction ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)). The trial court sentenced defendant to a 20 year term in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends that: 1) there was insufficient evidence to support the second degree robbery conviction; 2) the trial court failed to exercise its discretion under Evidence Code section 352; and 3) the abstract of judgment should be corrected to reflect that he was convicted of one count of robbery and one count of attempted robbery, rather than two robberies. The People concede that the abstract of judgment should be corrected. Otherwise, the judgment is affirmed.
