P. v. Young
A jury found defendant Darrell Eugene Young, a prison inmate, guilty of possessing a sharp instrument and/or slungshot, and the trial court found that he had two prior serious felony convictions within the meaning of the three strikes law and had served a prior separate prison term. Defendant was sentenced to 25 years to life, with a consecutive one-year term for the prior prison enhancement.
On appeal, defendant contends (1) the trial court abused its discretion in not striking, for purposes of sentencing, defendants prior felony convictions, (2) his sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, and (3) there is an error in the abstract of judgment. Court affirm the judgment and direct the trial court to correct the abstract.
