P. v. Petrone CA4/1
A jury convicted Michael Israel Petrone of reckless driving while evading a police officer. (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a).) In bifurcated proceedings, Petrone admitted two probation denial priors under Penal Code section 1203, subdivision (e)(4), two prison priors under section 667.5, subdivision (b) and one strike prior under section 667, subdivisions (b) through (i). The trial court denied probation and sentenced Petrone to seven years in prison, which it calculated as follows: the upper term of three years for the current offense, doubled under section 667, subdivision (e)(1) for Petrone's strike prior, plus one year for one of his prison priors. The court struck the punishment for Petrone's other prison prior under section 1385.
