P. v. Galbraith
This is an appeal pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)
On November 27, 2010, when a sheriff's deputy attempted to stop defendant Heath Wesley Galbraith for speeding, defendant sped away. Defendant reached speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour, drove erratically, changed lanes without signaling and cut off other vehicles. He finally lost control, ended up in a ditch and collided with a drainage pipe. Defendant tested positive for marijuana, methamphetamine and opiates. He previously had been convicted of driving under the influence in August 2001, April 2003, and March 2010.
