P. v. Ditto CA3
After a police officer attempted to pull over a pickup truck, a high-speed chase ensued. After the pickup crashed, officers found it empty. DNA on a baseball cap inside the pickup matched that of defendant Bennie Ray Ditto. An amended information charged defendant with assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, evading a peace officer, unlawfully driving a vehicle without consent, and receipt of stolen property. (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (c); Veh. Code, §§ 2800.2, subd. (a), 10851, subd. (a); Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a).) A jury found defendant guilty on all counts. Sentenced to 21 years, four months plus 25 years to life, defendant appeals, arguing counsel performed ineffectively, the court erred in denying his motion for a new trial, and sentencing error. We shall affirm the judgment.
