P. v. Bentancourt CA5
A jury convicted appellant Richard Bentancourt of indecent exposure (Pen. Code, § 314, subd. (1)). In a separate proceeding, the court found true a prior prison term enhancement (§ 667.5, subd. (b)) and allegations that Bentancourt had a prior conviction within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law (§ 667, subds. (b) (i)). On January 5, 2017, the trial court stayed the prior prison term enhancement and sentenced Bentancourt to a lower term of 32 months.
On appeal, Bentancourt contends: (1) the trial court erred when it admitted evidence that his conduct violated prison rules; and (2) he was denied the effective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
