P. v. Wilkerson CA4/1
A jury convicted James Wilkerson of one count of making a criminal threat (Pen. Code, § 422) and one count of threatening a public officer (§ 71). Wilkerson admitted to three prior strikes (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, 668), and one serious felony prior (§§ 667, subd. (a)(1), 668, 1192.7, subd. (c)). After striking two of Wilkerson's prior strikes, the trial court sentenced Wilkerson to a nine-year prison term.
Wilkerson makes two arguments on appeal. First, he contends that insufficient evidence supports the conviction for making a criminal threat (§ 422). Second, he contends that the trial court prejudicially erred in failing to sustain an evidentiary objection based on relevancy during the testimony of a prosecutor who witnessed Wilkerson make the threats at issue in this case. We conclude that Wilkerson's arguments lack merit, and accordingly we affirm the judgment.
