P. v. Clark CA3
Defendant Danny Lee Clark was arrested after driving without a license while carrying 15.1 grams of methamphetamine in the folded cuff of his pant leg. A jury convicted him of possession of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378), transportation of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a)), and driving without a license (Veh. Code, § 12500, subd. (a)). After the court found several prior conviction allegations true, including a strike prior, it sentenced him to an aggregate term of 13 years in state prison.
Prior to sentencing, the court denied defendant’s motion for new trial in which he argued that the verdict was contrary to the evidence and that the prosecution belatedly disclosed misleading information about its narcotics expert thereby violating his due process rights. Raising the same arguments on appeal, defendant contends the court abused its discretion in denying his motion for new trial.
