P. v. Walker CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Floyd Roland Walker III of inflicting corporal injury upon a spouse/cohabitant. (Pen. Code , § 273.5, subd. (a).) The jury also found that he personally inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim, under circumstances involving domestic violence. (§ 12022.7, subd. (e).) Defendant filed a motion for new trial, which a trial court denied. Subsequently, the court held a bifurcated hearing and found true the allegations that defendant had served two prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), had one prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)), and had one prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subd. (c) & (e)(1), 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)). At the sentencing hearing, the court denied defendant’s motion dismiss the prior strike conviction under People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497.
