P. v. Garman
A jury convicted Jason James Garman of one count of mayhem (Pen. Code,[1] § 203) and one count of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). The jury also found Garman personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). The court thereafter found true two prison priors within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b); one prison prior within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (a); and one strike prior within the meaning of section 667, subdivisions (b) through (i).
The court denied probation and sentenced Garman to a determinate term of 20 years in prison. Garman filed a timely notice of appeal.
Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising a possible, but not arguable issue. We offered Garman the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal. Garman has filed a letter brief which we will address below.
