P. v. Arvizu
Following a jury trial, defendant John Rojas Arvizu was convicted of grand theft (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (b)(3))[1] and embezzlement of property in excess of $50,000 (§§ 503, 12022.6, subd. (a)(1)). The court denied defendant's motions to dismiss and for a new trial, and sentenced him to three years in state prison. The trial court awarded 99 days' presentence custody credits, consisting of 67 days of actual custody and 32 days of conduct credits, and later amended the award, increasing the conduct credits to 67 days, for a total of 134 days' presentence credit.
On appeal, defendant contends delays in arresting and charging him violated his state and federal rights to a speedy trial, and he was entitled to a new trial based on new evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel. We shall affirm.
