P. v. Mejia
Appellant Santos Mejia was convicted, following a jury trial, of one count of possession for sale of a controlled substance, cocaine, in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11351. The jury found true the allegation that the amount of cocaine exceeded 40 kilograms within the meaning of section 11370.4, subdivision (a)(5). The trial court sentenced appellant to three years in state prison for the possession for sale conviction plus a 20 year enhancement term for the weight allegation.
Appellant appeals from the judgment of conviction, contending that the trial court erred in responding to jury questions during deliberations, denying appellant's Pitchess motion, excluding testimony from appellant's daughter and denying his motion to strike the weight enhancement. Appellant also contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. We affirm the judgment of conviction.
