Certified for Partial Publication. [*]
At his first trial, defendant was convicted by a jury of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14 years (Pen.Code, § 288, subd. (a); unspecified section references that follow are to the Penal Code), an attempted lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14 years (§§ 664/288, subd. (a)), and 11 counts of possessing child pornography (§ 311.11, subd. (a)). The jury deadlocked on two counts alleging kidnapping with the intent to commit a lewd and lascivious act (§ 207, subd. (b)) and on a one-strike charge alleged in connection with count one, the lewd and lascivious act offense (§ 667.61, subd. (e)(1)). The trial court declared a mistrial on these charges.
Prior to retrial, the People amended the information to add a second "one strike" allegation to court one, that is, an allegation defendant's conduct fell within the sentencing provisions of section 667.61, subdivision (d)(2) in addition to the sentencing provisions of section 667.61, subdivision (e)(1). Upon retrial, defendant was convicted of the two kidnapping offenses and the jury found both one-strike charges true.
