P. v. Gonzalez
Convicted of lewd acts and battery on a child and sentenced to 12 years in state prison, the defendant appeals. He contends: (1) his battery conviction must be reversed because it was a lesser-included offense of a lewd act, (2) the trial court erred by imposing unstayed terms for a lewd act and the battery, (3) the court abused its discretion by failing to state separate reasons for sentencing choices, and (4) the court improperly imposed fees, for his court-appointed attorney and for booking, without evidence of the defendant's ability to pay. We conclude that the fee for his court-appointed attorney must be stricken. In all other respects, however, we find no prejudicial error and therefore affirm the judgment as modified.
