Code, § 236) and willful infliction of corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon a person with whom he has, or previously had, a dating relationship (id., § 273.5, subd. (a)). The jury also found true the allegations he personally inflicted great bodily injury within the meaning of Penal Code section 12022.7, subdivision (e). In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true the allegations he had a prior serious felony conviction (id., § 667, subd.
