P. v. Chavez
Appellant/defendant Imelda Chavez was charged and convicted of count I, felony possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)); and count II, misdemeanor possession of narcotics paraphernalia (Health & Saf. Code, § 11364, subd. (a)). She was placed on probation.
On appeal, defendant contends the court erroneously admitted evidence of her admission that she previously used methamphetamine, and defense counsel was prejudicially ineffective for failing to request a limiting instruction as to the jury’s consideration of her admission. Defendant further argues the court had a sua sponte duty to give the unanimity instruction. We will affirm.
