P. v. Nix
Defendant and appellant Brandon Dejuan Nix appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in his convictions for first degree murder, attempted murder, and evading an officer with willful disregard. Nix was sentenced to a prison term of 144 years to life.
Nix contends the trial court erred by imposing a ten-year Penal Code section 186.22 gang enhancement. He also requests that this court review the sealed record of the trial courts Pitchess[2]examination to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion by failing to order additional disclosures. Court agree that the trial court erred by imposing a ten-year sentence rather than a 15 year parole eligibility minimum on the gang enhancement, and modify the judgment accordingly. In all other respects, Court affirm.
