P.v. Jones CA3
A jury found defendant Irish Donell Jones guilty of robbery, with a finding he personally used a gun, and guilty of resisting an officer. On appeal, defendant contends his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to request an instruction that the jury should view his alleged statements during the robbery with caution. He also contends reversal is required to allow the trial court to consider striking the firearm enhancement pursuant to the newly enacted Senate Bill No. 620 (2017-208 Reg. Sess.; hereafter Senate Bill 620). We will remand to allow the trial court to exercise its newfound discretion under Senate Bill 620. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
