P. v. Castellanos CA2/2
Jose Castellanos (defendant) appeals from a judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in his conviction of attempted second degree robbery as an aider and abettor (Pen. Code, §§ 662, 211), assault with a semiautomatic firearm as an aider and abettor (§ 245, subd. (b)), possession of a firearm by a felon (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1)), and dissuading a witness (§ 136.1, subds. (b), (c)).
On appeal, defendant contends his convictions must be reversed because the trial court erred by admitting evidence of: (1) a prior robbery to prove intent pursuant to Evidence Code section 1101, subdivision (b); and (2) a recorded jailhouse conversation between his codefendant, Jonathan Noriega (Noriega), and an informant.
