Description

Petitioner, Mabel Williams, seeks a writ of prohibition from this court restraining the respondent court from all further proceedings against her in criminal action No. C2613 in which petitioner is charged with a felony, to wit: conspiracy to commit prostitution (Pen. Code, § 182), and disorderly conduct in that she solicited and engaged in an act of prostitution, a misdemeanor (Pen. Code, § 647, subd. (b)). The sole issue for our determination is whether an alleged prostitute can be charged with both prostitution and conspiracy to commit prostitution with the alleged pimp who solicits for her. The facts before us disclose that on two successive days in April 1972, Detective Epperson of the Redwood City Police Department requested one Columbus Johnson, a cab driver, to procure a woman for him for the purpose of prostitution. On the night of April 26, 1972, Johnson brought petitioner to Eppersons room in a Redwood City hotel where petitioner allegedly disrobed and received $20 for an act of prostitution. Thereafter petitioner and Johnson were arrested and jointly charged with conspiracy to commit prostitution and disorderly conduct. Johnson alone was charged with feloniously receiving money for and procuring another person for the purpose of prostitution, a violation of Penal Code section 266i (pandering). At the preliminary hearing the pandering charge was dismissed for "insufficient evidence." There was a holding on the conspiracy charge and the misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct was to "trial the felony charge." Despite this order of the magistrate the district attorney filed an information in the superior court which included, in addition to the conspiracy charge against both parties, as count I, a pandering charge against Johnson as count II and the prostitution charge against both defendants as count III.
