P. v. Hart
On October 14, 2003, defendant Gregory Hart -- fresh out of state prison -- robbed a clothing store at knifepoint. On January 30, 2006, he entered into a direct plea agreement with the trial court for a prison term of 10 years instead of the possible 19 to which he was exposed. In the course of a lengthy discussion among the parties about the best way to reach the 10-year sentence, the court decided that in the interests of avoiding problems with prison officials and this court, it would strike, rather than stay, the three prison priors. Its cleaner. [] . . . [] . . . If its stricken, its stricken. Defendant then pled guilty to armed robbery, admitted to having suffered a prior strike within the meaning of the three strikes law, and admitted having the three prison priors (Pen. Code, 211, 12022.12, subd. (b)(1), 667, 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667.5.) The matter is remanded to the trial court with instructions that it order the preparation of a corrected and amended abstract of judgment reflecting the three, stricken, prison-prior enhancements. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
