P. v. Hanson CA4/3
Charles Jayson Hanson, a jeweler in Newport Beach, gave his clients jewelry with fake or lower quality stones than they had agreed to purchase. A jury convicted Hanson of first degree residential burglary, multiple counts of grand theft, special allegations, and sentencing enhancements. The court sentenced him to six years and four months in prison. Hanson’s appeal challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the burglary conviction and the jury’s special allegation finding he committed theft of an amount exceeding $100,000. We conclude his arguments have merit, and both the burglary conviction and special allegation must be reversed and the case remanded for resentencing.
