P. v. Sylvester CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Steven Hamilton Sylvester of willful failure to appear in court (Pen. Code, § 1320, subd. (b)) and found true the allegation that he was released on his own recognizance when he failed to appear (§ 12022.1). A trial court sentenced him to a two-year split term, with 18 months to be served in county jail and the remaining six months to be served on mandatory supervision.
On appeal, defendant contends that the judgment should be reversed because there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction of willfully failing to appear. We disagree and affirm.
