P. v. Guerrero
A jury convicted defendant James Anthony Guerrero of felony possession of a fictitious note (counterfeit money) with intent to defraud (Pen. Code, 476),[1]felony assault ( 245, subd. (a)(1)), and giving false information to a peace officer ( 148.9), a misdemeanor. The jury also found that defendant had four prior strike convictions ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and that he was sane at the time of the offenses.
Sentenced to state prison for concurrent terms of 25 years to life for each felony and a concurrent jail term for the misdemeanor, defendant appeals. He contends the trial court committed reversible error when it refused to (1) require the prosecution to disclose the criminal history of a potential witness, and (2) instruct the jury regarding the prosecutions failure to produce records relating to a drug container found in defendants pocket. Court affirm the judgment.
