P. v. Washington CA4/2
After a bench trial in which the prosecution presented evidence defendant Earl Washington, Jr., and four fellow gang members robbed a couple inside their apartment, the court found Washington guilty of two counts of home invasion robbery in concert. The court also found true the allegations the robberies were gang related and a principal had used a firearm. The court sentenced Washington to a total term of 80 years to life, comprised of two life terms with a minimum parole period of 15 years—doubled to 30 years for a prior strike conviction—plus 10-year gang and firearms enhancements for each count. The court stayed the enhancements on count 2.
