P. v. Licon CA3
A jury found defendant Sergio Gutierrez Licon guilty of numerous crimes and found true several firearm enhancement allegations under Penal Code sections 12022.5 and 12022.53. Accordingly, the trial court sentenced defendant to an aggregate term of 36 years eight months in state prison.
On appeal, defendant raises a single issue: he contends that he is entitled to benefit from the recent changes to sections 12022.5 and 12022.53 giving trial courts the discretion to strike firearm enhancements. He therefore asks us to remand this matter to allow the trial court the opportunity to exercise its discretion. The People concede the issue.
