P. v. Burton CA5
A jury convicted appellant Trichelle K. Burton and her codefendants, Glen Edward Maynor and Tyquan Maurice Jones, of conspiracy to commit robbery (Pen. Code, §§ 182, subd. (a)(1), 212.5, subd. (c)), carjacking (§ 215 subd. (a)), assault (§ 243, subd. (a)), attempted kidnapping to commit robbery (§§ 664, 209, subd. (b)), and attempted robbery (§§ 664, 212.5, subd. (c)). Burton was sentenced to an aggregate prison term of six years eight months.
Burton raises the following claims on appeal: (1) As to count 1, she should have been charged with multiple conspiracies instead of a single overarching conspiracy to commit robbery; and (2) the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of a prior uncharged act: the robbery of victim K.A.
