People v. Jones CA3

I. DISCUSSION

On February 25, 2016, a jury found defendant guilty on four counts of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)—counts 1, 2, 4, 5), making criminal threats (§ 422—count 3), hit and run (Veh. Code, § 20002, subd. (a)—count 6), corporal injury to a cohabitant (§ 273.5, subd. (a)—count 7), and attempted corporal injury to a cohabitant (§§ 664/273.5—count 8). Relative to count 5, the jury also found true an allegation that defendant inflicted great bodily injury on his victim. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true allegations that defendant was previously convicted of three strike felonies (§ 1170.12) and three serious felonies (§ 667, subd. (a)), and served four prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The court sentenced defendant to an aggregate term of 126 years to life in state prison. A week later, the court recalled defendant’s sentence pursuant to section 1170, subdivision (d), citing errors in the calculation of defendant’s term. On May 20, 2016, the trial court corrected those calculation errors and resentenced defendant. The total term, however, remained the same: 126 years to life in state prison.
