P. v. Manning
David L. Manning entered guilty pleas to one count of stalking (Pen. Code,[1] § 646.9, subd. (a)) and one count of making criminal threats (§ 422). The trial court denied Manning's request for probation and sentenced him to the low term of 16 months for stalking as well as a concurrent 16-month term for the criminal threats count. Manning appeals, contending the trial court's decision to deny his request for probation resulted in a fundamentally unfair sentence and was thus an abuse of discretion. Court find the trial court acted well within its broad sentencing discretion and therefore affirm the judgment.
