P. v. Lovelace CA4/1
A jury found Mike Jay Lovelace guilty of one count of using the personal identifying information of another (Pen. Code, § 530.5, subd. (a)), and one count of burglary (§ 459). Lovelace was placed on formal probation for three years, with an order that he serve 365 days in local custody. Lovelace contends (1) the trial court prejudicially abused its discretion in admitting evidence of his prior felony convictions for the purpose of impeaching his credibility; (2) defense counsel provided ineffective assistance by questioning Lovelace on direct examination about the facts underlying his 1994 burglary conviction and eliciting false testimony in doing so; (3) the prosecutor committed misconduct during closing argument; (4) the condition of probation requiring Lovelace to agree to a search of his computers and recordable media should be stricken as unreasonable and overbroad; and (5) the sentencing minute order should be corrected to properly reflect the trial court's oral pronounce
