P. v. Sorenson CA4/1
A jury found Daniel Sorenson guilty of unlawfully driving a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)) (count 1), and receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d) (count 2). After the jury returned its verdicts, Sorenson admitted having suffered three prison priors (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).
The trial court sentenced Sorenson to a split sentence of five years, consisting of the mid-term of two years on count 1, and one year for each prison prior. The court ordered Sorenson to serve three years in county jail followed by two years of mandatory supervision. The trial court stayed the execution of sentence on count 2 pursuant section 654.
On appeal, Sorenson claims that the trial court erred in instructing the jury concerning the crime of unlawful driving (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)). We conclude that the trial court properly instructed the jury and affirm the judgment.
