P. v. Correa CA4/1
A jury found defendant Rafael Correa guilty of transportation of a controlled substance (cocaine) for sale, and found true the allegation that the quantity of cocaine exceeded 20 kilograms. The trial court imposed an 18-year split sentence. Correa contends the trial court erred by failing to adequately instruct the jury that it was required to find that he harbored the specific intent to transport the cocaine for sale. Similarly, he contends insufficient evidence supports the jury's finding he harbored such an intent. These contentions lack merit.
Correa also requests that we independently review the trial court's proceedings on his motion to discover law enforcement personnel records. (See Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess).) We have done so, and find no error.
Accordingly, we affirm.
