P. v. Dillard
A jury convicted Bruce Dillard, Sr. (appellant) of petty theft (Pen. Code, 484, subd. (a)). Appellant admitted a prior petty theft conviction, which elevated the current conviction to a felony. Appellant also admitted that he had suffered a prior serious or violent felony conviction ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)), and that he had served three prior prison terms. The trial court sentenced appellant to a total prison term of seven years, consisting of the midterm of two years for the petty theft conviction, doubled pursuant to his prior strike, plus three consecutive one-year terms for his prison priors. Appellant contends the trial court erred when it denied his Wheeler/Batson motion, and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Court disagree and affirm the conviction.
