P. v. Quiroz
Salvador Quiroz appeals a conviction, following a jury trial, of unlawfully driving or taking a vehicle (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a)) (count 1), receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, 496d) (count 2), and driving with a suspended license (Veh. Code, 14601.1) (count 3). The court also found the enhancements true as charged: appellant had a prior conviction for unlawfully driving or taking a vehicle (Pen. Code, 666.5), and he committed the offenses while released on bail (Pen. Code, 12022.1). Appellant was sentenced to a two-year mitigated term on count 1, a concurrent mitigated two-year term on count 2, and a 30 day term on count 3 (with credit for 30 days time served). On appeal, appellant contends that pervasive prosecutorial misconduct deprived him of his right to due process and that he was improperly convicted of receiving a stolen vehicle and stealing that same vehicle. Court disagree and affirm.
