P. v. Hollis CA2/3
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Chauncey Alexander Hollis of one count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in permanent, serious injury and two counts of reckless driving causing great bodily injury. The jury found true allegations that Hollis had a prior conviction for reckless driving and that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victims in the commission of the crimes. The jury also found two prison priors true. The trial court sentenced Hollis to 12 years and four months in the state prison.
The sole contention raised by Hollis’s counsel on appeal is that the trial court erred in granting Hollis’s Faretta motion to represent himself because it did not tell him the maximum possible sentence if he were convicted. We find no error and therefore affirm Hollis’s conviction. We remand the case for the trial court to strike the great bodily injury enhancements on Counts 2 and 3.
