P. v. Coleman CA2/2
Princess Coleman appeals the judgment entered following a jury trial in which she was convicted of one count of first degree residential burglary. (Pen. Code, § 459.) Appellant admitted the prior convictions as alleged and was sentenced to 9 years in state prison. She contends the trial court prejudicially erred in failing to give an expert witness instruction sua sponte and by limiting her cross-examination of one of the police officers who testified for the prosecution. We disagree and affirm the judgment of conviction. However, in light of the recent enactment of Senate Bill No. 1393, we remand the matter to the trial court to exercise its new discretion to impose or strike the serious felony enhancement under section 667, subdivision (a)(1).
