P. v. Ruiz
A jury convicted Armando Ruiz, Sr., of evading an officer while driving recklessly (Veh. Code,[1] 2800.2, subd. (a), hereafter 2800.2(a).) Ruiz admitted a prior serious felony conviction, and the trial court sentenced Ruiz to 32 months in prison.
Ruiz raises three issues on appeal. First, he contends that because the crime of evading a officer with reckless driving is a specific intent crime, the trial court erred in giving an instruction on the union of act and intent that applies to general intent crimes. Second, he contends that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct during closing argument. Third, he contends that the trial court's minutes and the abstract of judgment improperly reflect a restitution fine and a parole revocation restitution fine, when the trial court did not impose those fines at sentencing.
