P. v. Miles
A jury found defendant Marshall Miles guilty of possessing cocaine base and marijuana for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11351.5, 11359). Finding that defendant had two prior drug convictions (Health & Saf. Code, 11370.2, subd. (a)) and had served two prior prison terms (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)), the court sentenced him to an aggregate term of 13 years in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court (1) abused its discretion in permitting the prosecution to present evidence of three prior drug offenses committed by defendant, (2) erred in failing to give the jury a unanimity instruction, (3) improperly instructed the jury on flight as evidence of consciousness of guilt, and (4) violated his constitutional rights when imposing the upper term for the cocaine conviction. Court shall affirm the judgment.
