P. v. Ward CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Dywane Jeremiah Ward was charged by information with second degree robbery. (Pen. Code, § 211, count 1.) The information also alleged that he had one prior strike conviction. (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667, subds. (b)-(i).) On January 15, 2016, the parties stipulated to amend the information with the oral addition of count 2—a charge of grand theft of property from a person. (§ 487, subd. (c).) Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pled no contest to count 2 and admitted the prior strike conviction. The court sentenced him to the agreed-upon term of 32 months in state prison, which consisted of the low term of 16 months on count 2, doubled pursuant to the prior strike conviction.
