P. v. Pedroza CA4/3
Appellant Felipe Uriostegui Pedroza was convicted by a jury of second degree auto burglary and attempted second degree robbery growing out of two crimes committed during a 15-minute low intensity “crime spree.” The trial judge reduced the
auto burglary to a misdemeanor and Pedroza was placed on formal probation for three years. He was not incarcerated, but was ordered to pay fines, fees, and restitution. He was also ordered to attend 180 Spanish-language self-help meetings and keep a daily journal of his life, to be submitted to the court.
This lenient sentence seems appropriate based upon the circumstances of the crime. Parath Chadha heard his car alarm go off and went outside to investigate. He saw Pedroza stagger down the street and converse with the owner of a nearby white van for about ten seconds. When the van left, Pedroza checked his car and found his phone accessories and cables were missing.
