California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Walden, C076697 (Cal. App. 2018):
admissibility of such records. (Duran, at p. 1460.) This provision "allows prior misdemeanor conduct to be proved by official records of misdemeanor conviction." (People v. Lopez (2005) 129 Cal.App.4th 1508, 1522, fn. 8.) As we have noted, the trial court admitted certified records of defendant's three prior misdemeanor convictions for driving under the influence, convictions from 2001, 2003, and 2005.
