P. v. Morris CA2/4
A jury convicted appellant Pierre Lakell Morris of rape, kidnapping to commit rape, assault, three counts of kidnapping, and two counts of second degree robbery. The trial court sentenced appellant to a term of 130 years to life in state prison. On appeal, appellant asserts evidentiary errors, instructional error, and prosecutorial misconduct. He also contends that the evidence was insufficient to support several of his convictions and sentence enhancements. Finally, he argues that we should remand for the trial court to exercise its discretion under Senate Bill No. 620 (2017-2018 Reg. Sess.) whether to strike a firearm enhancement.
We vacate the sentence and remand the matter for the trial court to exercise its discretion whether to strike the firearm enhancement. We otherwise affirm.
