P. v. Thompson CA2/1
On September 8, 2016, a jury convicted Brandon Thompson of first degree burglary under Penal Code sections 459 and 460. The jury also determined that “another person, other than an accomplice, was present in the residence” during the burglary, making the burglary a “violent felony.” (§ 667.5, subd. (c)(21).) Thompson waived trial on whether he had a prior conviction for a “serious felony” for purposes of sections 667, subdivision (a)(1) and 1170.12, subdivision (b)(1), and admitted that he did.
The court sentenced Thompson to nine years in state prison. (§§ 461, subd. (a), 1170.12, subd. (c)(1), 667, subd. (a)(1).) He filed his notice of appeal the same day.
