P. v. Ankney CA4/3
Defendant Amber Rennea Ankney was charged by information with one count of aggravated assault (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)), and that she personally inflicted great bodily injury during the commission of the assault (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). The information also alleged defendant had a prior strike conviction and two prison priors. A jury found defendant guilty on the aggravated assault charge, but found the great bodily injury enhancement not true. In a bifurcated bench trial, the court found the alleged prior convictions were true. The court granted the People’s motion to dismiss one of the prison priors, granted defendant’s motion to strike the punishment for the prior strike pursuant to section 1385 and struck the remaining prison prior for sentencing purposes only. The court sentenced defendant to a state prison term of seven years, comprised of the low term of two years for the aggravated assault and a consecutive five years pursuant to section 667, subdivision (a)(1
