P. v. Lesser CA4/1
After the trial court found Ricky Lesser unable to competently represent himself at trial, a jury convicted him of making a criminal threat (Pen. Code, § 422) and battery
(§ 242). In a bifurcated proceeding, the jury found true allegations that he had suffered two prior convictions that qualified as serious felonies (§§ 667, subd. (a)(1), 668, 1192.7, subd. (c)), and strikes (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 668, 1170.12). The court sentenced Lesser to 25 years to life in state prison for the criminal threat, plus 10 years for the two serious felony prior convictions. It sentenced Lesser to a concurrent term of 180 days in jail for the battery.
