P. v. Beltran CA5
The Kern County District Attorney filed an information on February 24, 2021, charging defendant with criminal threats, a felony (Pen. Code, § 422; count 1) and possession of a deadly weapon with the intent to commit an assault, a misdemeanor (§ 17500; count 2). On May 12, 2021, after a two-day trial, the jury found defendant guilty on both counts. On June 8, 2021, the trial court denied defendant’s motion to reduce count 1 to a misdemeanor under section 17. The trial court then proceeded to suspend imposition of sentence on count 1, placed defendant on two years of probation, and ordered defendant to serve one year in jail as a condition of probation. As to count 2, the trial court imposed a 180-day jail term to be served concurrently with the jail term on count 1. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal on June 9, 2021.
