P. v. Davidson
After a bench trial, a trial court found defendant and appellant Gilbert Davidson guilty of first degree residential burglary. (Pen. Code, 459.)[1] The court further found true the allegation that defendant had two prior strike convictions ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)), and that he was sane at the time of the commission of the crime. The court sentenced defendant to a total indeterminate term of 25 years to life in state prison. On appeal, defendant contends that his conviction should be reversed because he did not expressly waive his right to a jury trial, and nothing in the record demonstrates a knowing, intelligent, or voluntary waiver. Court disagree and affirm.
