P. v. Green
Defendant Jason Lamar Green appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of possession for sale of phencyclidine (PCP) in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11378.5.[1] The trial court accepted defendants admission that he sustained one prior conviction for possessing cocaine base for sale ( 11370.2, subd. (a)) and three prior convictions for a serious or violent felony. (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b).)
The trial court sentenced defendant to six years in state prison as follows: the low term of three years for the possession for sale conviction plus a three-year enhancement for the prior conviction ( 11370.2, subd. (a)), plus a one-year term as to each of the three prior convictions for a serious or a violent felony to run concurrently with the sentence imposed in count 1. (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b).)
Defendant contends that: (1) admission of the criminalists notes violated his right to confrontation; (2) the trial court did not understand its sentencing discretion; and (3) the prosecutor presented the jury with a legally incorrect theory in closing argument.
Court affirm the judgment.
