People v. Peyton
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of two counts of receiving stolen property and one count of identity theft. Defendant was sentenced to ten years eight months imprisonment. Defendant raised several issues on appeal. The court concluded that defendant was "sidetracking," by avoiding or delaying trial by diverting from the pending issue of guilt or innocence to some other issue, any issue, and then keeping the prosecution or trial court so occupied in litigating the side issue that the hearing of the accusation itself comes to a halt. In this case, defendant's sidetracking is striking in terms of the expenditure of time, public funds, and judicial resources. The court rejected defendant's numerous arguments on appeal and affirmed the judgment of the trial court.
