THE PEOPLE v. STUART
Trial court's imposition of upper term sentence for rape based on finding of aggravated factors did not violate defendant's constitutional right to have factors determined by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt where one legally sufficient aggravating circumstance was based on defendant's record of prior convictions; issue to be determined was whether trial court's fact finding increased sentence that otherwise could have been imposed, not sentence that would have been imposed.
