Alch v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County

Defendant Lonnie Lee Poslof appeals his jury conviction for failing to register as a sex offender in Twenty-Nine Palms, in violation of Penal Code section 290, subdivision (g)(2). In a bifurcated trial, the jury also found true allegations that defendant had two prior convictions for lewd and lascivious acts upon a child, which qualified as serious or violent felonies, and had served two prior prison terms and failed to remain free of prison custody for five years. The trial court sentenced defendant to a total term of 27 years to life in state prison.
