P. v. Warrack
A jury found defendant Jawan Warrack guilty of failing to properly register as a sex offender (Pen. Code, 290; further section references are to the Penal Code). Finding that defendant had a prior serious or violent felony within the meaning of the three strikes law, the court sentenced him to state prison for a term of four years (double the middle term of two years).
On appeal, defendant contends that, although his attorney made an unsuccessful Romero motion (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (hereafter (Romero)) prior to trial, the attorneys failure to renew the Romero motion when presented with the opportunity to do so after trial resulted in prejudicial ineffective assistance of counsel. Court disagree and shall affirm the judgment.
