P. v. Sorto
A jury convicted defendant Douglas Castellanos Sorto of first degree burglary (Pen. Code,[1] §§ 459, 460) after he was found inside a neighbor’s house. He contends that the trial court erred, first, by allowing the prosecutor to impeach him by stating he had been convicted of a “serious and violent” felony and, second, by instructing the jury on sexual battery as a possible intended target offense for the charged crime of burglary. Sorto also claims there was insufficient evidence of intent to commit either theft or sexual battery to support the burglary conviction.
We affirm the judgment.
