P. v. Mba
A jury convicted defendant of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, found he was sane at the time he committed the crime, and found true an allegation that he personally inflicted great bodily injury. Defendant was sentenced to state prison for a term of 17 years -- high term of four years for the assault, doubled because of the prior strike, plus three years for the great bodily injury enhancement, five years for the prior felony conviction, and one year for the prior prison term. Defendant appeals, claiming his high term sentence must be reversed because the facts on which it is based (the crime involved great violence and viciousness and demonstrated serious danger to society, and his prior convictions were numerous and of increasing seriousness) were neither found by a jury nor admitted by him. Judgment Affirmed.
