P. v. Crawford
A jury convicted defendant Ronnie Demone Crawford of possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5—count one)[1] and possession of heroin for sale (id., § 11351—count two). The jury found that defendant was not personally armed with a firearm in the commission of counts one and two and was unable to reach a verdict on counts three and four (felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, respectively). The trial court declared a mistrial on counts three and four, which were later dismissed on the People’s motion. In bifurcated proceedings, the trial court found that defendant had sustained two prior drug convictions (id., § 11370.2, subd. (a)) and four prior prison terms (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)).
