FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION THREE
THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent,
A164999
v. BYRON DEAN TITUS, JR., (Humboldt County Super. Ct. No. CR2100262) Defendant and Appellant.
A jury convicted Byron Titus of multiple felonies, including attempted murder and aggravated mayhem. He was sentenced to an aggregate prison term of 50 years to life plus 32 years, 8 months. On appeal, Titus contends his mayhem conviction must be reversed because the trial court failed to instruct the jury regarding simple mayhem as a lesser included offense. He contends further that there were multiple sentencing errors, some of which the People concede on appeal. We affirm Titus’s convictions and remand for resentencing.
