P. v. Sanchez
Defendant Albert Sanchez was charged by information with resisting an officer (Pen. Code, 69, a felony, count 1), possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a), a felony, count 2), displaying false registration (Veh. Code, 4462.5, a misdemeanor, count 3), and battery upon an officer (Pen. Code, 242, 243, subd. (b), a misdemeanor, count 4). In his first trial, a jury found defendant guilty of counts 1 and 2, not guilty of count 3, and guilty of the lesser included offense of battery upon an officer without injury (id. 243, subd. (b)). He was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison. This court reversed the judgment on appeal. (People v. Sanchez (Jun. 12, 2007) H029254 [nonpub. opn.].) By the time his conviction was reversed, defendant had served his sentence and had been released from custody.
