P. v. Figueroa CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Kristen Alisa Figueroa of grand theft. (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (a).) The trial court granted defendant formal probation for a period of three years, with the condition that she serve 270 days in the custody of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
Defendant raises nine issues on appeal. First, defendant contends the trial court erred by admitting evidence that the theft was motivated by defendant’s drug abuse. Second, in the alternative, if the foregoing issue was forfeited, then defendant’s trial counsel was ineffective. Third, defendant asserts the trial court erred by not permitting defendant to show her arms to the jury to rebut the evidence that she abused drugs.
