P. v. Diaz CA4/1
Santo Diaz pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter of Melanie V. and Edgar S. (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (a); counts 1, 2) and two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (§ 245, subd. (b); counts 3, 4). He admitted the truth of allegations that he committed the manslaughters while armed with a firearm (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)), and committed all of the felonies for the benefit of a criminal street gang
(§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)). Diaz agreed to be sentenced to a prison term in the range of 28 to 44 years. The court ultimately sentenced him to 39 years in prison. He contends the court abused its discretion and it should have sentenced him to a lower prison term. Finding no error, we affirm.
