P. v. Covert
Defendant was charged four separate times with various charges for her involvement in the murder of a man by her boyfriend, and her first three cases were dismissed. Defendant was finally charged with being an accessory after the fact pursuant to Penal Code section 32.[1] She brought a motion to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the charges of violating section 32 had already twice been dismissed pursuant to section 1387. Her motion was denied. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in state prison.
Defendant claims on appeal that the trial court erred by refusing to dismiss the charges under section 1387, subdivision (a).
