P. v. Johannessen
A jury convicted defendant and codefendant Sandra Prescott of possession of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11378) and found true the allegation that defendant had a strike prior conviction (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12). Defendant was sentenced to 32 months in prison, the low term doubled. On appeal, defendant contends (1) it was error to deny his motion to suppress; (2) there was insufficient evidence of possession; (3) the trial court failed to respond adequately to the jurys questions about possession; (4) the prosecutor committed misconduct in closing argument; (5) the trial court erred in denying the motion to strike the prior; and (6) there was insufficient evidence of the strike prior because the prosecution improperly used evidence that was not part of the record of conviction. Court affirm.
