P. v. Loia CA4/2
A jury found defendant and appellant Steven Loia guilty of one count of first degree murder. (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a).) The jury also found true two separate enhancements under section 12022, subdivision (b)(1)—that defendant used a deadly or dangerous weapon (a knife and a baseball bat) in the commission of the crime. Defendant admitted that he had a prior serious felony conviction, within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a), and sections 667, subdivisions (c) and (e)(1), and 1170.12, subdivision (c)(1). The court sentenced him to a total state prison term of 57 years to life, consisting of 25 years to life, doubled pursuant to the prior strike, plus a consecutive one year on each of the weapon enhancements, and five years on the prior serious felony conviction enhancement.
On appeal, defendant contends that the court improperly imposed terms for both of the weapon enhancements. We affirm.
