P. v. Purcaro
Defendant waived jury trial and the trial court found him guilty of first degree burglary, receiving stolen property, and attempted vehicle taking. The court also found true six prior convictions within the meaning of the three strikes law and two prior convictions for purposes of a five-year enhancement. Defendant was sentenced to 35 years to life, consisting of 25 years to life for the burglary plus two five-year enhancements. Sentences on the remaining counts were stayed.
Defendant’s sole contention on appeal is that the trial court abused its discretion and violated his right to due process in denying his motion to add a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity after rendition of the verdict. Court affirmed.
