P. v. Pettet CA1/3
Defendant Timothy William Pettett received a five-year sentence after being convicted by a jury of receiving a stolen vehicle and admitting that he had suffered prior convictions. On appeal, defendant claims the court erred in failing to obtain a personal waiver of his right to a jury trial before accepting his admissions that he had suffered the prior convictions supporting sentence enhancements. The People concede that the court erred. Accordingly, we shall reverse the sentence enhancements and remand for further proceedings on the prior conviction allegations.
