P. v. Wu
In a 17-count information, appellant John Shaw was charged with offenses related to a series of real estate transactions. His wife, Hsiu Mei Wu, was charged in three of the counts. The jury found Shaw guilty of three counts of grand theft, two counts of forgery, three counts of using personal identifying information without authorization, three counts of recording a false instrument, one count of conspiracy, one count of attempting to dissuade a witness, and one count of false application for a driver's license. (Pen. Code, 484-487, 470, 530.5, subd. (a), 115, 182, 136.1,118.) The jury also found true excessive taking enhancements. (Pen. Code, 12022.6, subd. (a)(3), 186.11, subds. (9)(a)(1) and (a)(2).) The jury was unable to reach a verdict as to one count of grand theft and one count of forgery. The jury found Wu guilty of one count of using personal identifying information without authorization. (Pen. Code, 530.5, subd. (a).) The jury found Wu not guilty of one count of forgery and one count of recording a false instrument. (Pen. Code, 115, 470.) The trial court sentenced Shaw to a state prison term of 14 years eight months and ordered him to pay restitution and a $20 court security fee. Wu was placed on probation with various terms and conditions including restitution and community service. Shaw challenges the sufficiency of the evidence as to two counts, conspiracy and attempting to dissuade a witness. Wu challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support her conviction for using personal identifying information without authorization. Shaw also contends that the court committed sentencing error. Court affirm.
