P. v. Ferguson CA6
Defendant Katharina Hermine Ferguson was convicted after a jury trial of three felonies: attempted theft from an elder (Pen. Code, §§ 368, subd. (d), 664); identity theft (§ 530.5, subd. (a)); and second degree commercial burglary (§ 459). The court suspended imposition of the sentence and granted probation for three years upon the condition that defendant serve 280 days in jail.
Defendant asserts four claims of error on appeal. First, she contends the court erred by admitting collateral and prejudicial evidence concerning prior threats that the alleged victim, defendant’s mother, claimed had been made by defendant. The alleged victim, Hermine Ferguson (Ms. Ferguson), had asserted in an application for a restraining order that defendant had intimidated her in attempt to get money, and defendant had threatened to get a gun and kill everyone and to burn Ms. Ferguson’s house down.
