P. v. Cooper CA3
Defendant Daquan Javon Cooper pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. (Pen. Code, § 29800, subd. (a)(1)—count five of amended information.) Thereafter, a jury found him guilty of two counts of second degree robbery (§ 211—counts two and three of second amended information) and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1)—count four). The jury also found that defendant personally used a firearm in the commission of the robbery offenses. (§ 12022.53, subd. (b).) The trial court sentenced him to an aggregate term of 20 years in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court prejudicially erred in denying his motion for mistrial. Defendant further contends the jury’s finding of guilt on the felon in possession of firearm offense is not supported by substantial evidence.
