P. v. Golden CA5
Defendant Jerome Clifford Golden, a sexually violent predator (SVP) committed to Coalinga State Hospital (CSH), was charged with possession of child pornography by a registered sex offender (Pen. Code, § 311.11, subd. (b)). The information further alleged he had been convicted of committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under 14 years of age, a qualifying “strike” offense (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a) (d)), in 1992 and 1995. The jury found defendant guilty as charged. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true the prior convictions. Thereafter, defendant was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
On appeal, defendant contends a suppression motion and a Romero motion should have been granted. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment.
