Alexander

BACKGROUND

In 2021, a jury convicted Alexander of being a felon in possession of a firearm and

ammunition. (Pen. Code, § 29800, subd. (a)(1) (§ 29800(a)(1)); Pen. Code, § 30305,

subd. (a)(1) (§ 30305(a)(1)); unlabeled statutory references are to this code.) Alexander

admitted before trial that he was convicted in 2006 of attempted murder. The jury was

(§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d).) The court sentenced Alexander to two

years and eight months in state prison.

invalid under the Second Amendment because they violate his “Second Amendment right

to bear arms in self-defense under the new standard of review in Bruen,” supra, 142 S.Ct.
