P. v. Edmond
Richard Edmond entered a negotiated plea of no contest to two counts of second degree robbery and admitted a Penal Code section 12022.5, subdivision (a) personal gun‑use allegation. In conformity with the plea agreement, the trial court sentenced defendant to 10 years in prison. Defendant’s plea pertained to robberies of employees of two different Rite Aid stores on Ventura Boulevard on September 21 and 26, 2011. According to the probation report, defendant and two accomplices committed the robberies, with one member of the group driving and remaining in the car and the other two donning masks, entering the stores with guns, pointing the guns at store personnel, and removing money from cash registers and the safe. A witness to the September 21, 2011 robbery provided a license plate number to the police, who kept the vehicle under surveillance. Police followed the vehicle to and from the September 26, 2011 robbery, arrested defendant and his accomplices, and recovered the money taken from the store.
