P. v. Splawn
A jury convicted defendant Steven Michael Splawn of one count of first degree burglary and one count of second degree burglary. (Pen. Code, 459.) Defendant admitted allegations of four strikes, three prior serious felony convictions, and a prior prison term. The court sentenced defendant to 31 years to life in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends: 1) there is insufficient evidence to support his convictions; 2) the court erred in admitting evidence that he possessed several pieces of jewelry, including a womans watch, when booked into jail; 3) the denial of his motion for a new trial was an abuse of discretion; and 4) the court applied the incorrect standard in denying his motion to dismiss his prior felony convictions pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero). Court shall affirm.
