People v. Noble CA6

I. BACKGROUND

In February 2003, a jury found Noble guilty of one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 (§§ 269, subd. (a)(1), 288 subd. (a), count one); three counts of a lewd or lascivious act on a child under 14 (§ 288 subd. (a), counts three, four, and five); and one count of false imprisonment (§§ 236-237, count six). He was found not guilty of one additional count of aggravated sexual assault on a child under 14 (§§ 269 subd. (a)(1), 286, count two). Noble admitted that he had two prior felony convictions within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a). The court found that Noble had a prior prison term within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b) and that the prior felonies qualified as serious/violent felonies within the meaning of sections 667, subdivisions (b)-(i), and 1170.12. The trial court sentenced Noble to an indeterminate term of 120 years to life in state prison consecutive to 10 years. The court ordered $10,000 in restitution fines pursuant to section 1202.4, subdivision (b), and $10,000 in restitution fines pursuant to section 1202.45, suspended unless parole was revoked. On appeal, Noble’s conviction and sentence were affirmed.…
