P. v. Johnson CA2/2
A jury convicted Vincent Maurice Johnson (defendant) of injuring a spouse or cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)) and dissuading a witness from prosecuting a crime (§ 136.1, subd. (b)(2)), and the trial court sentenced him to prison for 35 years to life. On appeal, defendant challenges three of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings and levels three challenges at his sentence. Only two of these claims has merit: He is entitled to a remand to have the trial court exercise its newfound discretion to strike the allegations that he has suffered two prior “serious” felony convictions under Senate Bill 1393, and he is entitled to a re-calculation of his custody credits. We otherwise affirm.
