P. v. Panza
William Thomas Panza entered guilty pleas to one count of attempted robbery (Pen. Code, 664/211),[1]and two robberies while released on bail ( 211, 12022.1, subd. (b)). He admitted two prior strikes ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, 668), and two prior serious felony convictions ( 667, subd. (a)(1)). The court struck one prior strike (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497) and sentenced him to prison for 19 years four months: double the two-year lower term on one conviction of robbery with a prior strike, a consecutive two years for the second conviction of robbery with a prior strike (double one third the middle term), and 16 months for attempted robbery with a prior strike (double one third the middle term), enhanced by two 5 year terms for the prior serious felony convictions and two years for committing the robberies while released on bail. Panza contends the trial court erred in imposing consecutive sentences on the two robbery convictions. The judgment is affirmed.
