P. v. Littlejohn CA2/2
Several weeks after William Littlejohn (defendant) and his girlfriend broke up, he approached her at a recycling center, put a gun in her face, told her, “Bitch, I’ve got you,” and then pistol whipped her. Defendant then drew the same gun at police trying to stop him for questioning a few days later. A jury convicted him of several crimes related to each incident, and the court sentenced him to 20 years in prison. On appeal, defendant raises one evidentiary issue, several sentencing issues and asks us to review the transcript from the in camera Pitchess hearing. None of these arguments calls into question the validity of defendant’s convictions, but the trial court did commit several sentencing errors. Accordingly, we affirm defendant’s convictions but modify his sentence.
