P. v. Lamb
A jury found Michael Lee Lamb guilty of two counts of burglary (Pen. Code, 459)[1](counts 1 and 2). In addition, with respect to each count, the jury found that the burglary was of an inhabited dwelling. ( 460.) After the jury returned its verdicts on the burglary charges, Lamb waived his right to a jury, and admitted having suffered various prior convictions. The trial court sentenced Lamb to a total term of 60 years in prison, consisting of two consecutive terms of 25-years-to-life on counts 1 and 2, pursuant to the Three Strikes law ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 668, 1170.12), and two consecutive five-year terms for two prior serious felony enhancements ( 667, subd. (a)(1), 668).
On appeal, Lamb claims that the trial court violated his constitutional right to present a defense by limiting a defense expert witness's testimony regarding Lamb's use of alcohol near the time of the charged offenses. Lamb also claims that the trial court erred in modifying a jury instruction concerning voluntary intoxication. Court affirm the judgment.
