P. v. Burgess
Chance Sherwin Burgess appeals from a post-judgment order revoking and reinstating his probation with modified terms and conditions.
In 2009 Burgess was charged in a felony complaint with willfully inflicting corporal injury upon Quanae Williams, the mother of his child (Pen.Code, § 273.5, subd. (a), [1] count 1), first degree burglary with a person present (§§ 459, 667.5, subd. (c)(21), count 2), petty theft (§ 484, subd. (a), count 3) and misdemeanor vandalism (§ 594, subd. (a), count 4).
Burgess waived his constitutional rights to a preliminary hearing and a trial and entered a plea of no contest to inflicting corporal injury as charged in count 1. In accordance with the negotiated agreement, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Burgess on five years of formal probation on condition he serve 180 days in county jail and participate in one year of domestic violence counseling and one year of parenting classes. The remaining counts were dismissed on the People’s motion.
