P. v. Robles
Martin Gaytan Robles was charged with (1) attempted second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 664/211); and (2) carrying a dirk or dagger (Pen. Code, 12020, subd. (a)). At trial, the prosecution was allowed to elicit evidence of Robless poverty as a motive for the attempted robbery. Robles was subsequently convicted of both counts. Robles was sentenced to two years for count 1, and two years for count 2, to run concurrently. He was given time credits of 193 days. On appeal, Robles contends that the court erred in allowing the prosecutor to elicit evidence of his poverty, and further, that the error was prejudicial. Court disagree and will affirm.
