P. v. Perez
Pedro Castro Perez appeals convictions for evading an officer causing injury (Veh. Code, 2800.3), leaving the scene of an accident (Veh. Code, 20001, subd. (a)), and driving without a valid driver's license (Veh. Code, 12500, subd. (a)). The jury found a true allegation that he had a prior serious or violent felony conviction. (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d).) Perez's 15-year sentence included a 5-year upper term for the evading an officer causing injury offense. Perez contends the trial court violated his constitutional right to self-representation, and erred in imposing an upper term sentence based on aggravating facts that were not found true by the jury. Court affirm the judgment, but remand for resentencing.
