P. v. Gaytan
Defendant Mario Alberto Gaytan appeals from the trial court’s order terminating his probation and ordering the previously suspended 23-year prison sentence to be executed. Defendant argues: 1) the evidence is insufficient to support the finding that he violated the term of his probation that he violate no law by committing auto burglary because there is no admissible evidence that the door of the car was locked; 2) the court prejudicially erred when it admitted his post-arrest statement because he is a Spanish speaker and did not knowingly waive his rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 426 (Miranda); and 3) the court prejudicially erred when it admitted unreliable hearsay regarding the ownership of the vehicle in question and whether the vehicle in which he was riding had itself been stolen. As discussed below, we affirm the judgment.
