P. v. Everett
A jury convicted defendant Jamil Urail Everett of possession of methamphetamine (Health and Saf. Code, § 11377;[1] count 1); being a felon in possession of a firearm (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1)); and possession of a false driver’s license (§ 529.5, subd. (c); count 3). The jury also found true, as to counts 1 and 2, allegations that defendant committed the crimes while released on bail (§ 12022.1). Defendant admitted he had one prison prior (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced defendant to eight years four months in prison.
Defendant contends on appeal that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to continue the trial. Defendant also asserts that the trial court committed reversible error in admitting into evidence a jailhouse audio recording and his statement given to the police while he was in the hospital. We reject defendant’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
