P. v. Torres CA3
Defendant Enrique Torres was convicted by jury of first degree burglary. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found defendant was previously convicted of a serious felony offense (Pen. Code, § 667, subd. (a)) qualifying as a strike under the three-strikes law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and also served two prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). Following an unsuccessful motion to strike defendant’s prior strike conviction pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero), the trial court sentenced him to serve 15 years in state prison.
