P. v. Vasquez CA3
On July 29, 2014, defendant Carlos Vasquez was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, a knife (count 1).
On April 1, 2015, the complaint was amended to add count 2, assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury. Defendant pled no contest to count 2 in return for an agreement to dismiss count 1 and a promise of no immediate state prison time; his maximum exposure was four years in state prison. The parties agreed that although defendant was presumptively ineligible for probation due to prior felony convictions, the trial court could make an unusual case finding. The parties stipulated to the factual basis for the plea, taken from the police report, that on July 28, 2014, in Yuba County, defendant assaulted the victim with force likely to cause great bodily injury.
