P. v. Mejia
Appellant Augustine Mejia appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial in which he was convicted of possessing methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11378; count 1), resisting, delaying, or obstructing a peace officer (Pen. Code, 148, subd. (a)(1); count 2), and possessing a device used for unlawfully injecting or smoking a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11364; count 3). The trial court found that appellant had previously been convicted of a violation of Health and Safety Code section 11378 (Health & Saf. Code, 11370.2, subd. (c)) and served a prior prison term (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)). Appellant was sentenced to six years in prison. Appellant contends (1) the trial court erred in instructing the jury with CALJIC No. 2.03, and (2) the trial court made comments to the jury that coerced the verdict, in violation of appellants right to due process. Finding no reversible error, Court affirm.
