Description
Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211), assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)) and possession of a concealable weapon by a felon (Pen. Code, § 12021). He raises a question of first impression in this state as to whether he was deprived of his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination as a sample of his hair was obtained, admitted into evidence, and used by a prosecution expert. He further contends that: 1) he was deprived of his right to confrontation, as the witness Van Arsdale was improperly impeached; 2) he was subjected to a pretrial identification that violated the standards of Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293 [18 L.Ed.2d 1199, 87 S.Ct. 1967], and United States v. Wade, 388 U.S. 218 [18 L.Ed.2d 1149, 87 S.Ct. 1926]; and 3) contrary to Penal Code section 654, he was subjected to multiple punishment. We have concluded that there is no merit to any of these contentions, except the last, and that the judgment of conviction must be affirmed, as modified.
