P. v. Johnson
Defendant Justin David Johnson pleaded no contest to vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subds. (a) & (b)) and resisting, delaying, or obstructing an officer (Pen. Code, § 148, subd. (a)). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on probation for three years. Defendant contends: (1) trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object to the reasonableness of the medication probation condition, and (2) the trial court violated his due process rights by imposing a probation condition that was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. We agree that the probation condition is unconstitutionally overbroad and limit its application to medication prescribed for treatment of any diagnosed mental disorder. As modified, the order is affirmed.
