P. v. Cordero CA5
Defendant Eddie Serna Cordero stands convicted of possession of a firearm and ammunition as a felon, misdemeanor obstructing an officer, and misdemeanor reckless driving. On appeal, he contends (1) the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions because his identity as the perpetrator of the offenses was not credibly established, and (2) defendant’s trial counsel was ineffective for failing to emphasize the best evidence tending to show that defendant was not the perpetrator. The People disagree on both accounts.
We ordered the parties to submit supplemental briefing on the question of whether any remaining balance on the probation report fees imposed pursuant to former Penal Code section 1203.1b should be vacated because they are uncollectable and unenforceable pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 1869 (2019–2020 Reg. Sess.) (Assembly Bill 1896). The parties agree that we should order any remaining balance on the probation report fees vacated.
