P. v. Gonzalez
Defendant Ginger Lindsay Gonzalez was convicted by jury of possession for sale of cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5 (count 1)), transporting cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, § 11352, subd. (a) (count 2)), possession for sale of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378 (count 3)), and transporting methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a) (count 4)). In a separate proceeding she admitted suffering a prior narcotics conviction (Health & Saf. Code, § 11370.2, subd. (a)). Defendant was sentenced to the low term of three years in county jail on count 1, plus a consecutive three-year term for the prior conviction, for a total term of six years. The trial court also imposed a concurrent two-year sentence on count 3, and imposed but stayed sentences on the remaining counts pursuant to Penal Code section 654.[1] Various fines and court fees were imposed and defendant was awarded 34 days of presentence custody credit.
Defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the underlying facts of the prior drug conviction. We disagree and affirm the judgment. We remand with directions to amend the abstract of judgment.
