P. v. Spears CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Ronnell Alonzo Spears was charged by amended information with pimping (Pen. Code, § 266h, subd. (a), count 1) and pandering by procuring another person for prostitution (§ 266i, subd. (a)(1), count 2). A jury found him guilty of count 2. However, it was unable to reach a verdict on count 1, so a trial court declared a mistrial as to that count. The court granted the People’s subsequent motion to dismiss count 1, and it sentenced defendant to the middle term of four years in state prison on count 2.
On appeal, defendant argues that the court abused its discretion in denying his request for the low term and instead sentencing him to the middle term. We affirm.
