People v. Martin
Opinion
Opinion
Boren, J.
Eric Bernard Martin appeals from a judgment entered upon his conviction by jury of corporal injury to a spouse (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a); count l), resisting arrest (§ 69; count 3) and battery with injury on a peace officer (§ 243, subd. (c)(2); count 4). The trial court found the allegation that appellant had suffered six prior felony convictions within the meaning of sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d) and 667, subdivisions (b) through (i) to be true. It sentenced appellant to three concurrent 25-years-to-life sentences. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in failing, pursuant to section 654, to stay execution of sentence on either the resisting arrest or battery with injury on a peace officer convictions.
We affirm.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND

He went outside.
