P. v. Nicholson
A jury convicted defendant of evading a peace officer with wanton disregard for the safety of others and possession of a firearm by a felon. It also found true allegations of seven prior convictions for purposes of the Three Strikes law and three prior prison terms for purposes of one-year sentence enhancements. On appeal, defendant contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because trial counsel failed to make certain objections. In a separate petition for writ of habeas corpus, which court ordered to be considered with the appeal, defendant raises the same claims of ineffective assistance of counsel supplemented by a declaration of trial counsel. Court affirmed the judgment. Court also disposed of the habeas corpus petition by separate order filed this day.
