P. v. Melchor
Mollie Norma Melchor pleaded no contest to first degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211)[1], first degree burglary (§ 459), two counts of grand theft of a firearm (§ 487, subd. (d)(2)), and elder or dependant adult abuse (§ 368, subd. (b)(1)), and admitted a prior conviction allegation. The trial court sentenced her to eight years in state prison.
On appeal, Melchor contends that the trial court prejudicially erred when it denied her pre-plea motion to dismiss the information based on violations of her Fifth Amendment rights. Melchor contends that the error requires her convictions be reversed and the case dismissed with prejudice. We disagree and affirm.
