P v. Almendarez
A jury found defendant and appellant Sean David Almendarez guilty of receiving stolen property. (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a).)[1] The trial court found true the allegations that defendant suffered: (1) two prior strike convictions (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667, subds. (b)-(i)); and (2) five prior convictions for which he served prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced defendant to prison for a term of 11 years. Defendant raises two issues on appeal. First, defendant contends the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on the law of specific intent. Second, defendant asserts the trial court erred by excluding evidence relating to the location of some of the stolen goods. We affirm the judgment.[2
