P. v. Matthews
Appellant William J. Matthews appeals from a judgment entered after a jury returned a verdict of guilty of count 1, first degree robbery of Horace Coleman (Pen. Code, 211);[1] count 2, second degree robbery of Elston Poston ( 211), and count 3, second degree robbery of Duwaun Williams ( 211). As to count 1, the jury found true the allegation that the crime was committed in a dwelling house while appellant acted in concert with two or more persons ( 213, subd.
