P. v. Hutson CA3
A jury found defendant Sonny Dean Hutson guilty of a lewd act on a child (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)) based on his touching the vagina of an 11-year-old girl. The trial court found true allegations that defendant had two serious prior felonies, a kidnapping in Texas and an assault with a deadly weapon in California, both as five-year enhancements (§ 667, subd. (a)) and as strikes (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12), and that he had served a prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life plus a determinate term of 11 years. Defendant appealed.
