P. v. Dawson
A jury found defendant John Howell Dawson guilty of attempted child molestation and misdemeanor indecent exposure. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on three years of probation, subject to various conditions (including a 240-day jail term).
In his appeal, defendant asserts the prosecutor committed several instances of irremediable misconduct during closing argument, and trial counsel was ineffective in failing to make any objection to them. He also identifies several errors in the probation order’s imposition of fees and fines, which the People concede. We shall affirm the order granting probation as modified.
