P. v. Williams
A jury found defendant Frank James Williams, Jr., guilty of assault with a deadly weapon (a belt) and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The jury deadlocked and a mistrial was declared on a count of forcible oral copulation with use of a firearm. Defendant admitted a prior conviction of battery with serious bodily injury, alleged as both a serious felony (Pen. Code,[1] §§ 667, subd. (a), 1192.7, subd. (c)) and a strike (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12). He was sentenced to state prison for 14 years 4 months. Defendant was awarded conduct credit pursuant to section 2933.1. The 2010 amendment to section 2933 does not entitle him to additional conduct credit because, inter alia, he has a prior conviction for a serious felony. (§ 2933, subd. (e)(3).)
