In People v. Moultrie (1979) 99 Cal.App.3d 77, defendant was on trial for robbery and had previously been convicted of attempted robbery. The trial court there, like the trial court in this case, ruled that the defendant could be asked, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony involving theft?" The defendant did not testify. The Court of Appeal affirmed. It was held that "the trial court's handling was a reasonable and available alternative to the approach rejected in Rollo and not at odds with Fries. " ( Id. , at p. 87.)
