P. v. Caldera
On June 21, 2006, defendant was charged with a number of felonies which had occurred on June 19. On July 26, the trial court pointed out to defendant that he faced a prison term of over 18 years. The prosecutor made two offers to defendant, which she agreed to keep open until August 16, so defendant could discuss them with his lawyer. On August 16, after stating that he had had enough time to discuss his case with his attorney and denying that anyone had forced him to enter a plea, defendant pled guilty to assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1))[1]and admitted having suffered a strike prior ( 667, subds. (b)-(i)) and a prior for which he served a prison term. ( 667.5, subd.(b).) As part of his plea bargain, defendant waived his right to appeal. He was sentenced to the agreed-to term of 5 years in prison. His request for a certificate of probable cause was denied by the trial court.
The judgment is affirmed.
