P. v. Beckett CA2/5
Defendant and appellant Lamar Beckett (defendant) was convicted at trial of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211 ) and sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment.
On appeal, defendant contends that: (1) the prosecutor committed misconduct when cross-examining defendant about some of his prior convictions; and (2) the trial court improperly imposed a sentencing enhancement for a prior serious felony conviction pursuant to section 667, subdivision (a)(1). We reject these contentions, affirm the conviction, but remand the matter to the trial court for the limited purpose of deciding whether to impose or strike three sentencing enhancements for prior prison terms pursuant to section 667.5, subdivision (b).
