P. v. Jimenez CA4/3
Following a trial, during which defendant Jose Antonio Jimenez testified, a jury found him guilty of petty theft (Pen. Code, §§ 484-488). He appeals from the ensuing judgment sentencing him to 180 days in jail, with credit for time served. Although he did not object below, defendant contends the prosecutor made improper statements about his two past felony convictions for vehicle theft and claims those statements inflamed the passion and prejudice of the jury against him. Understanding we may find he waived the issue based on his failure to object below, he alternatively argues his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object to the prosecutor’s arguments. We find no error and affirm the judgment.
