P. v. Roberson
Defendant Dennis Roberson pled no contest to petty theft with a prior conviction in 2005 for the same offense. His ensuing appeal is subject to the principles of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110. Pursuant to the latter, we provide the following summary of the offense and the proceedings in the trial court.
The parties stipulated that the police report contained the factual basis for the plea. Defendant had put two bottles of Jack Daniels under his shirt and then left the store without paying for them. An employee detained him and recovered the merchandise.
