P. v. Yancy CA4/1
Defendant and appellant Tyrone Yancy was charged by first amended information with one count of assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)). The amended information also alleged that defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)); that defendant had two prior strikes (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d) & 667, subds. (b)-(i)); and that he had four prison priors (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).
A jury found defendant guilty of the charged offense and made a true finding on the great bodily injury enhancement. In a bifurcated proceeding, defendant admitted the truth of the two prior strikes and the four prison priors. The court sentenced defendant to 25 years to life on the charged offense, plus consecutive sentences of three years for the great bodily injury enhancement and four years for the prior prison convictions, for a total term of 32 years to life.
