P. v. Jackson CA2/4
Appellant Jack Jackson was convicted in 1997 of two counts of possessing a firearm as a felon. (Pen. Code, § 29800, subd. (a)(1) [formerly Pen. Code, § 12021, subd. (a)(1)].) Because he had prior convictions that qualified as “strikes,” he was sentenced as a “third strike” offender to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life on each count (running concurrently). In the underlying action, the trial court denied appellant’s petition to be resentenced pursuant to the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act or the Act), because during the commission of the offense he was armed with a firearm. In his appeal, appellant contends the court erred in concluding his offense was ineligible for resentencing under the Reform Act. We affirm.
