P. v. Aceves
Jose Machuca Aceves appeals from a judgment after conviction by jury of transporting methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a)) and possession of methamphetamine for sale (§ 11378).[1] The jury acquitted him of unlawfully taking a vehicle. (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a).) The trial court found he had suffered five prior felony convictions related to controlled substances and four prior prison commitments. (§ 11370.2, subd. (c); Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b).) The court sentenced him to 23 years in jail.
Aceves contends the trial court erred when it admitted evidence of his prior controlled substance convictions because he would stipulate that he knew the narcotic nature of methamphetamine. He would not stipulate that he knew methamphetamine was present. We affirm.
