P. v. Collins CA6
A jury convicted defendant Jerome G. Collins of possession of child pornography. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on three years’ probation. Defendant appealed, challenging two evidentiary rulings, five probation conditions, and an order requiring him to pay attorney fees. In People v. Collins (Oct. 6, 2015, H040380) [nonpub. opn.], a divided panel of this court rejected defendant’s challenges to the evidentiary rulings, ordered the modification of four of defendant’s probation conditions, and ordered the vacation of an attorney fee order for insufficient evidence of defendant’s present ability to pay. Among the probation conditions this court ordered modified were sex offender probation conditions imposed pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.067, subdivisions (b)(3) and (b)(4) , which required defendant to participate in polygraph examinations and to waive the psychotherapist-patient privilege.
