P. v. Modrall
Defendant and appellant, Rebecca Rachel Modrall, was charged with one count of extortion. (Pen. Code, § 518.)[1] At trial, the prosecution argued that the jury could find defendant guilty based on any one of four possible acts of extortion. The court instructed the jury with CALCRIM No. 3500 as to the requirement of juror unanimity. The jury found defendant guilty. The court granted defendant probation on the condition, among others, that she serve 180 days in custody and pay $28,200 in restitution.
On appeal, defendant contends the court prejudicially erred by giving the unanimity instruction. We reject this argument and affirm the judgment.
