P. v. Hunter CA4/2
A jury found defendant and appellant Thomas Hunter guilty of driving or taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)). In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found that defendant had suffered one prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)), to wit, a 1980 robbery, and two prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), to wit, a 1988 robbery conviction and a 2010 criminal threat conviction. Defendant was sentenced to a total term of seven years in state prison with 256 days of credit for time served as follows: the upper term of three years, doubled to six years due to the prior strike for the vehicle theft conviction, plus one year for “one of the [] prior prison enhancements,” and a concurrent one year for the other prior prison term allegation.
