P. v. Ford
A search of defendants vehicle and residence revealed a large amount of cocaine base, a tablet of Ecstasy, ammunition, and two handguns. Convicted by jury of possession for sale and transportation of cocaine base, possession and transportation of Ecstasy, and possession of ammunition and a firearm by a felon, defendant appeals. He contends that (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain the Ecstasy convictions, (2) the conviction for possession of ammunition by a felon must be reversed because the trial court failed to give the jury a unanimity instruction, and (3) the sentence for one of the cocaine base convictions should have been stayed. (Defendant makes other contentions, but, as will be seen, they need not be discussed separately.) Defendant is correct that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the Ecstasy convictions and that the sentence for one of the cocaine base convictions must be stayed; however, the unanimity instruction argument is without merit because any error in that regard was harmless. Court therefore modify the judgment by vacating the Ecstasy convictions and staying the conviction for transportation of cocaine base, and we affirm the judgment as modified.
