P. v. Young CA4/1
A jury convicted Robert Young of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211; count 1) and corporal injury to a spouse (§ 273.5, subd. (a); count 2). In a bifurcated proceeding, Young admitted a prior conviction for battery with serious bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d)) in 2013 as a prison prior (§§ 667.5, subd. (b), 668), a strike prior (§§ 667, subds. (b)–(i), 668, 1170.12), and a serious felony prior (§§ 667, subd. (a)(1), 668, 1192.7, subd. (c)). He also admitted a true finding in a 2006 juvenile matter for assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)) as a prison prior (§§ 667.5, subd. (b), 668) and a strike prior (§§ 667, subds. (b)–(i), 668, 1170.12). The court exercised its discretion to strike the juvenile strike. The court sentenced Young to 15 years in state prison based upon the upper term of five years for count 1, which was doubled for the strike prior, plus five years for the serious felony prior. The court imposed a sentence of two concurrent years for count 2
