P. v. Montoya
Defendant pled guilty to one count of sexual penetration with a foreign object and two prior strike allegations, one for burglary and one for attempted rape. A court trial was commenced based on defendant’s additional plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Trial was delayed due to various continuance requests, competency proceedings, and periods in which defendant was found not competent to stand trial. Trial was finally completed, and defendant was found to have been sane at the time of the offense. Defendant was then sentenced under the “Three Strikes” law to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life in prison. Defendant appealed. Judgment affirmed.
