P. v. Barden CA1/2
After two trials, the first of which ended in a hung jury, Shannon Louis Barden was convicted on a felony charge of resisting an officer with force or violence in violation of Penal Code section 69. Prior to the second jury trial, Barden pled no contest to misdemeanor violations of using a controlled substance in violation of section 11550, subdivision (a) of the Health and Safety Code and driving with a suspended license in violation of section 14601.1, subdivision (a) of the Vehicle Code. After the trial, Barden failed to appear for his sentencing hearing and ultimately pled guilty to a felony violation of section 1320, subdivision (b) for that failure to appear, and to additional misdemeanor charges of possession of methamphetamine, petty theft and driving on a suspended license.
