P. v. Bonner
On January 3, 2012, an information charged defendant and appellant William Charles Bonner with owning or operating a chop shop under Vehicle Code section 10801 (count 1), and receiving stolen property under Penal Code section 496d, subdivision (a) (count 2).
On July 27, 2012, a jury found defendant guilty on count 2, but could not reach a verdict as to count 1. The trial court declared a mistrial as to count 1 and, ultimately, dismissed it.
On September 21, 2012, after denying without prejudice defendant’s motion to reduce count 2 to a misdemeanor, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on formal probation for 36 months, with terms and conditions. The trial court ordered that defendant serve 60 days in home detention and imposed a number of fines and fees, including victim restitution.
On October 19, 2012, defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.
