P. v. Thompson CA1/5
Clarence Thompson III was convicted by jury of felony first degree burglary (Pen. Code, § 460, subd. (a)), five counts of felony burglary of a motor vehicle (§ 460, subd. (b)), felony identity theft (§ 530.5, subd. (c)(3)), misdemeanor possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)), and misdemeanor vandalism (§ 594, subd. (b)(2)(a)). Thompson admitted having suffered three prior felony convictions and having served three prior prison terms.
Thompson asserts Batson/Wheeler error in the prosecution’s exercise of a peremptory challenge to an African-American member of his prospective jury panel. He also challenges the sufficiency of evidence to sustain his conviction for first degree burglary. We reject both contentions and affirm.
