P. v. Wells CA4/1
A jury convicted Steven Scott Wells of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211) and found true an allegation he personally used a deadly weapon (a screwdriver) to commit the offense (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)). The court then found Wells was the defendant in a prior attempted residential burglary case from another county and, after reviewing the record of conviction from the case, the jury found true an allegation Wells was convicted in the case. The conviction qualified as a prior serious felony conviction (§§ 667, subd. (a)(1), 1192.7) and a prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12). The court sentenced Wells to 12 years in prison.
