P. v. Norton CA2/5
Defendant and appellant Michael R. Norton appeals the trial court’s reimposition of a sentence of 21 years in state prison following his first appeal to this court. A jury convicted defendant of voluntary manslaughter (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (a)), and found true the allegation that he personally used a firearm in commission of the offense (§ 12022.5). The trial court imposed the upper term of 11 years for voluntary manslaughter, plus the upper term of 10 years for the firearm enhancement. Defendant contends, as he did in his prior appeal, that the trial court abused its discretion by relying on improper aggravating circumstances to impose the high terms, and by disregarding circumstances in mitigation. We affirm.
