P. v. Krasnow
Appellant John Krasnow was convicted, following a jury trial, of one count of selling, transporting or offering to sell a controlled substance in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11352, subdivision (a). Appellant admitted the truth of the allegations that he had suffered four prior prison terms within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b) and a prior conviction within the meaning of Health and Safety Code section 11370.2, subdivision (a). The court sentenced appellant to a total term of 10 years in state prison, consisting of the mid-term of four years for the current conviction plus three one-year terms for the Penal Code section 667.5 allegations and one three-year term for the Health and Safety Code section 11370.2 allegation.
Appellant appeals from the judgment of conviction, contending that the trial court erred in denying his Wheeler[1]motion and that the trial court's imposition of a 10 year term was an improper punishment for appellant's decision to exercise his right to a jury trial. Court affirm the judgment of conviction.
