P. v. Becerra
Mario Cota Becerra, the defendant herein, suffers from a form or forms of schizophrenia. His mental condition may have been an impetus to a history of stealing from people. In the current case, he pleaded no contest to second degree robbery. (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (c).) On appeal, he claims that confining him in state prison is unconstitutional given his mental illness. He also claims that the trial court committed errors regarding his presentence credits.
We will modify the judgment with respect to defendant’s presentence credits, and as so modified will affirm it.
