P. v. Jones
Tracy E. Jones entered negotiated guilty pleas to four counts of robbery. (Pen. Code, 211.) He admitted seven prior strikes ( 667 subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, 668), two prior serious felony convictions ( 667 subd. (a)(1), 668) and serving three prior prison terms ( 667.5 subd. (b), 668). The court sentenced him to prison for 48 years to life: 25 years to life for robbery (count one) with two prior strikes enhanced by two five year terms for prior serious felony convictions, with consecutive one year sentences on the remaining three robbery convictions (counts 2 4) (one third the middle term), enhanced by two five year terms for the prior serious felony convictions. Jones contends the sentence was unauthorized because the trial court erred in applying the prior serious felony enhancements to both the determinate terms and the indeterminate term and abused its discretion in refusing to strike the prior strike on all the convictions.
