Description
A jury found Jose Alphonso Martinez guilty of possession of stolen property, a felony, I.C. § 18-4612. The jury also found that he was a persistent violator of the law, I.C. § 19-2514. He appeals the stolen property conviction, alleging that conduct of the Sheriff of Canyon County violated his right to due process and denied him effective assistance of counsel and a fair trial. He also urges reversal of the persistent violator determination, contending that it was based upon evidence improperly admitted at trial. We affirm. In September, 1979, the Owyhee County residence of Floyd Wood was burglarized. Several thousand dollars worth of property was taken, including sixty-three assorted firearms. Shortly after Wood reported the theft, the Sheriff of Canyon County received a tip from an informant that Martinez was keeping guns in a plywood box near his mobile home in Canyon County, and that the guns had been stolen during an Owyhee County burglary. The sheriff placed the Martinez home under surveillance.
