P. v. Williams CA2/6
Miles James Williams appeals a judgment following conviction of misdemeanor vandalism. (Pen. Code, § 594.)
At a jury trial, the prosecutor presented evidence that on November 26, 2020, Williams entered a Santa Barbara drugstore. The store manager knew Williams and ordered him to leave. As he walked from the store, Williams triggered an electronic theft device alarm. Williams forcibly removed the device and destroyed it. The store manager summoned police officers who then arrested Williams. Williams testified at trial that at the time of the incident he was not taking his psychotropic medication.
The trial court sentenced Williams to serve 364 days confinement in county jail and awarded him presentence custody credit of 381 days. The court found that Williams did not have the present financial ability to pay any fines, fees, or assessments, and therefore did not impose them.
We appointed counsel to represent Williams in this appeal.
