P. v. Lantz CA4/3
A jury found Derek Jack Lantz guilty of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664, subd. (a), 187, subd. (a)), of Mitchell George and assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), on Roland Morris. The jury also found the attempted murder was deliberate and premeditated (§ 664, subd. (a)), and Lantz personally used a deadly weapon (§ 12022, subd (b)(1)), and personally inflicted great bodily injury
(§ 12022.7, subd. (a)), in the commission of the attempted murder. Lantz subsequently admitted having previously suffered five robbery convictions in 1995. (See §§ 667, subds. (a), (d), (e)(2), 1170.12, subds. (b), (c)(2)(A).) The court struck four of the five prior strikes for purposes of sentencing. On the attempted murder conviction, the court sentenced Lantz to life in prison with a minimum parole eligibility of 14 years with consecutive terms of one year (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)), three years (§ 12022.7, subd. (a), and five years (§ 667, subd. (a)).
