P. v. Villarreal-Guzman CA2/5
A jury convicted defendant of felony driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and felony driving with a 0.08 percent blood-alcohol content causing injury. As to both counts, the jury found true defendant inflicted great bodily injury. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erroneously denied her Penal Code section 17, subdivision (b) (section 17(b)) motion to reduce her felony convictions to misdemeanors because the court was not aware it had the discretion to do so. She further contends the court failed to adequately investigate defense claims that one of the jurors had slept during portions of the trial. We disagree and affirm.
