P. v. Skeen CA3
A jury found defendant William James Skeen guilty of two counts of opening or maintaining a place for using or selling a controlled substance (counts 1 and 6), two counts of possession for sale of a controlled substance (counts 2 and 7—Health & Saf. Code, § 11378 ), two counts of possession of a device used for smoking a controlled substance (counts 4 and 9), one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition (count 5), one count of possession of marijuana for sale (count 11), and one count of manufacturing a controlled substance (count 12). The offenses charged in counts 1 through 5, and 12, occurred on March 2, 2016, while counts 6 through 11 related to October 1, 2015. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true the allegations with respect to counts 2 and 7 that defendant had previous convictions for violating sections 11378 and 11379. The court later struck one of these allegations in the interests of justice pursuant to Penal Code section 1385.
