P. v. Hall
Appellant was convicted by jury of the first degree premeditated murder of his wife. (Pen. Code,$187, subd. (a).) In addition, the jury found defendant guilty of unlawfully taking a vehicle (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a)), and of first degree robbery ( 212.5, subd. (a)). The jury found not true two special circumstances allegations that the murder had been committed for financial gain and had been committed during the commission of a robbery. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found that Hall had served a prior prison term within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b).
The trial court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life for the murder count, plus a consecutive six-year upper term for the robbery, and a consecutive eight month term (one-third the middle term) for the vehicle theft. The court also imposed two consecutive one year terms for the prior prison term allegation. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
