P. v. Camba CA2/11
Appellant Javier Victor Camba was convicted by a jury of receiving a stolen car. At trial, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Manan Butt testified that he found appellant seated in the driver’s seat of the stolen car, in which the steering column had been removed and a screwdriver had been inserted into the ignition. Appellant was in possession of a shaved car key, a tool commonly used by car thieves. Immediately after he was advised of his Miranda rights, appellant asked whether the deputy had seen him driving the car (suggesting, as appellant now concedes, his knowledge that he should not be associating with the car).
