P. v. Houk
Defendant Charles Adam Houk pled no contest to first degree murder (Pen. Code, 187), and guilty to attempted murder (Pen. Code, 187, 664) and admitted to personal discharge of a firearm for the murder count (Pen. Code, 12022.53, subd. (c)(2)). The trial court sentenced him to 59 years to life.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court should have allowed him to withdraw his plea and that his upper term sentence for attempted murder violates Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 [159 L.Ed.2d 403] (Blakely). Court affirm the judgment.
