Does Defendant find fault in the finding that he was not armed when he committed his felon-in-possession offense?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Johnson v. Superior Court of Sacramento Cnty., C073091 (Cal. App. 2014):
Defendant also finds fault in the trial court's conclusion that he was armed when he committed his felon-in-possession offense because there was conflicting evidence. Conflicting evidence, however, does not cast doubt on the trial court's factual findings because we review factual findings for substantial evidence. (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578.) Here, there was substantial evidence that defendant was armed.
