P. v. Baird
A jury convicted Eugene Baird of second degree burglary (Pen. Code, 459; all references to this code unless noted) and grand theft ( 487, subd. (a)). The trial court found he had suffered a prior felony conviction qualifying as a strike under the Three Strikes law ( 667, subds. (d) & (e)(1); 1170.12, subds. (b) & (c)(1)), and had served three prison terms ( 667.5, subd. (b)).
Defendant argues the trial court erred when it failed to conduct an evidentiary hearing on his motion to suppress evidence ( 1538.5). He also argues the reasonable doubt instruction (CALCRIM No. 220) is constitutionally flawed. As explained below, Court affirm the judgment.
