Is there any case law where a defendant has been convicted of two counts of possession of stolen property?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Carr, 66 Cal.App.4th 109, 77 Cal.Rptr.2d 639 (Cal. App. 1998):
Defendant contends the trial court erred in refusing the defense's requested instruction (CALJIC No. 17.03) to the effect that the crimes charged in count one (burglary) and count two (receiving stolen property) were alternative charges and defendant could not be convicted of both charges. (See People v. Black (1990) 222 Cal.App.3d 523, 271 Cal.Rptr. 771.)
