P. v. Menchaca CA4/1
A jury convicted Antonio Menchaca, Jr., of one count of transporting methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a)) and found true the allegation that the weight of the methamphetamine exceeded 10 kilograms (Health & Saf. Code, § 11370.4, subd. (b)(3)). The trial court sentenced Menchaca to 12 years in prison, the two-year low term with a consecutive 10-year term for the weight allegation. The court then imposed a split sentence under Penal Code section 1170, subdivision (h)(5)(B), ordering Menchaca to serve eight years in custody and the remaining four years on mandatory supervision.
