P. v. Canida CA4/2
Defendant Alastair Canida appeals from judgment entered following a jury conviction for attempted robbery (Pen. Code, § 211). The trial court sentenced defendant to two years in prison. Defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion by denying his motion to reopen the case, thereby depriving him of his right to testify in his own defense. Defendant also contends there was insufficient evidence to support his attempted robbery conviction, and the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the lesser included offense of attempted grand theft. We reject defendant’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
