P. v. Baker CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Michael Dewayne Baker, Jr., of second degree robbery. (Pen. Code, § 211.) A trial court subsequently found true the allegation that he had a prior burglary conviction, for which he served a prison term. (§ 667.5, subd. (b).) It also found true the allegations that the burglary conviction was a serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)) and a prior strike conviction (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667, subds. (b)-(i)). The court denied defendant’s Romero motion to dismiss the prior strike conviction. It then sentenced him to a total term of nine years in state prison, consisting of two years on the robbery conviction, doubled pursuant to the strike, plus five years for the prior serious felony enhancement. (§ 667, subd. (a)(1).) The court stayed the prior prison enhancement (§ 667.5, subd. (b)) due to the imposition of the prior serious felony enhancement.
