P. v. Walker
The Santa Clara County District Attorney charged defendant Timphony Orlando Walker with robbery and petty theft with a prior conviction and further alleged that he had two prior strike convictions. (Pen. Code, 211 2312.5, subd. (c), 666, 667, subds. (b)-(i).) Defendant pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. After the guilt phase of the trial, the jury convicted defendant of the two offenses. After the sanity phase, the jury found defendant not guilty by reason of insanity. After a court trial, the court found the prior conviction allegation true. At sentencing, the court committed defendant to the California Department of Mental Health for a maximum period of 25 years to life plus a consecutive 16 year term. (1026.)
On appeal from the judgment, defendant claims the court abused its discretion in denying his request for a continuance. Court reverse the judgment.
