P. v. Bell
A jury convicted defendant, McClain Bell, of transporting and possessing cocaine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11352, subd. (a); 11351),[1] possessing testosterone (§ 1377, subd. (a)) and possessing less than 28.5 grams of marijuana (§ 11357, subd. (b)). He was granted probation and appeals, claiming his motion for a continuance to substitute counsel was erroneously denied, the trial court erred in failing sua sponte to instruct on accomplice testimony and one of the conditions of his probation is unconstitutional. We reject his first two contentions, and conclude that the probation condition must be narrowed. We therefore affirm the judgment, while directing the trial court to modify the probation condition at issue.
