P. v. Jones
On August 25, 2008, appellant, Jason Paul Jones, was charged in a first amended information with two counts of possession of stolen property (Pen. Code, 496, subd. (a)).[1] The information alleged a prior prison term enhancement ( 667.5, subd. (b)). After a jury trial, appellant was convicted on August 28, 2008, of both counts. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found the enhancement to be true.
On August 29, 2008, appellant entered into a plea agreement in superior court case No. 1221063, a case in which he admitted one count of felony possession of a weapon ( 12020, subd. (a)). Under the plea agreement, appellant would receive an eight-month consecutive sentence if he admitted the possession of a weapon allegation.[2] Appellant was released from custody pending sentencing with the understanding that if he appeared on time for sentencing in this action, he would receive the midterm of two years on count one and a consecutive term of eight months on count two. If appellant failed to surrender on time, he would receive a sentence of three years on count one in the instant action. Appellant waived his right to any appeal in both cases.
