P. v. Alfaro CA2/5
Defendant George Alfaro (defendant) appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of first degree residential burglary (Pen. Code, § 459) and second degree robbery (§ 211). The charges were predicated on evidence that, in October 2015, defendant broke into the home of victim Carol Cortes (Cortes) and stole a television and cash, and later, in December 2015, robbed the same victim of her cell phone after punching her in the face. At sentencing, the trial court granted a defense motion pursuant to People v. Romero (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero) and sentenced defendant to a total of 24 years in prison.
