P. v. Stone CA2/7
Vincent Stone was convicted following a jury trial of second degree robbery. On appeal he argues the trial court erred by admitting photographs taken from a social media account, refusing to strike the victim’s testimony after he would not disclose the names of potential eyewitnesses and denying Stone’s motion for a new trial based on prosecutorial misconduct. Stone also argues the evidence was insufficient to support the jury’s finding the robbery was committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang. We remand to allow the trial court to consider whether to exercise its discretion under a new law, effective January 1, 2019, to strike or dismiss a prior serious felony conviction for sentencing purposes. In all other respects we affirm.
