California Court of Appeal

Affirmed. Defendant was convicted of stalking, false imprisonment, criminal threats, lewd acts upon a child and indecent exposure while traveling on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train. Defendant appealed claiming that venue was improper because the offense was committed in a different county other than the one in which he was tried; his rap sheet was improperly submitted to the jury; and his motion to exclude prior convictions under People v. Sup. Ct. (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 was only partially granted. The 1st Appellate District court affirmed the judgement stating that venue was proper under Penal Code section 783; defendant failed to show prejudice; and the partial granting of his Romero motion was not improper.
