P. v. Ward CA4/2
On April 15, 2003, a complaint charged defendant and appellant Melvin Ray Ward with one count of assault with a deadly weapon under Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(1) (count 1). The complaint also alleged that defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury within the meaning of sections 1192.7, subdivision (c)(8), and 12022.7, subdivision (a).
On April 22, 2003, defendant pled guilty to count 1 and denied the enhancements. Pursuant to the plea agreement, the parties agreed that the enhancements “shall be dismissed.” Accordingly, the trial court struck both enhancements and sentenced defendant to two years in prison. The abstract of judgment lists the two dismissed enhancements with an “S” next to each enhancement under the column for time imposed.
