P. v. Howard
Kuntakinte Howard[1]appeals from the judgment entered upon his conviction by jury of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen.Code, 245, subd. (a)(1), count 1),[2]three counts of making criminal threats ( 422, counts 2, 7 & 10), stalking ( 646.9, subd. (a), count 5), and burglary ( 459, count 6).[3] The jury also found to be true the special allegation that defendant had suffered two prior felony strike convictions within the meaning of sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), and 667, subdivisions (a) through (i) and two prior prison terms within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b). The trial court sentenced defendant as a three-strike offender to an aggregate state prison term of 160 years to life. Defendant contends that (1) there is insufficient evidence to support his burglary conviction, and (2) the trial court erred in advising the jury of proceedings conducted outside of its presence because defendant refused to be cross examined.
court affirm.
