P. v. Farrell
Appellant Joseph Louie Farrell was charged with one count of identity theft, two counts of automobile theft and one count of receiving stolen property. One prison prior and four prior felony convictions were specially alleged. (Pen. Code, 530.5, subd. (a); 496, subd. (a); 667.5, subd. (b); 1203, subd. (e)(4); Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a).) Jury trial was held; a mistrial was declared after the jury deadlocked on all counts at six in favor of acquittal and six in favor of conviction. After a second jury trial, appellant was convicted of all counts and the court found the special allegations true. Appellant was sentenced to an aggregate term of four years and eight months imprisonment. Appellant argues that his trial counsel was ineffective because he did not object to admission of testimony that appellant contends is legally inadmissible and subject to exclusion under Evidence Code section 352. Court are not convinced and will affirm.
