P. v. Lowe
A jury convicted defendant Trenell Anthony Lowe of possession of methamphetamine. Lowe admitted that he had a prior felony strike conviction and had served two prior prison terms. The trial court sentenced him to two years eight months in state prison.
On appeal, Lowe contends that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress because his detention and search by the police were illegal. In addition, he argues: (1) In admitting the enhancement allegations, he did not affirmatively waive his right to confront witnesses and his privilege against self-incrimination; (2) the trial court improperly offered a 28-month sentence in exchange for a guilty plea and therefore his sentence after jury trial should be no more than 28 months; (3) he is entitled to additional presentence conduct credits; and (4) the abstract of judgment must be corrected. The People concede that the abstract of judgment should be corrected but otherwise disagree with Lowe.
We conclude that the detention and search were legal. We agree with the parties that the abstract of judgment must be corrected. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
