P. v. Obregon
A jury convicted Moses Obregon of conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, felony false imprisonment and unlawful taking or driving of a vehicle. The court imposed a three-year prison term, consisting of the upper term for robbery plus a concurrent three-year term for false imprisonment. The court stayed sentence on the conspiracy and vehicle theft convictions under Penal Code section 654.[1]
Obregon claims the trial court erred by failing to strike the jury panel after a prospective juror talked to the prosecutor, admitting text messages between the coconspirators, and imposing sentence for false imprisonment. He also challenges his conviction for unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, arguing the car was just one of the items taken during the robbery. We reject each contention and affirm the judgment.
