P. v. Woods
A jury convicted defendant Leroy Kingsley Woods of possession with intent to sell cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, 11351.5). The jury also found true allegations that defendant had one prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1) [hereafter 245(a)(1)])[1]and served three prior prison terms (id., 667.5) for evading a peace officer (Veh. Code, 2800.2), possession of marijuana for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11359), and assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, 245(a)(1)). The court determined that defendants prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon was a serious felony, qualifying it as a strike and doubling his sentence under section 667, subdivision (e)(1). In addition to raising claims of prosecutorial misconduct and evidentiary error, defendant attacks the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction and the strike enhancement. Court affirm.
