P. v. Jackson CA4/3
A jury found defendant Chazz Andre Jackson guilty of forcible rape and related crimes: pimping, pandering, human trafficking, human trafficking of a minor, witness intimidation, and attempted criminal threats. The trial court found true four out-of-state prior serious felony convictions and imposed a lengthy prison sentence.
The trial court had dismissed the same action in two prior superior court cases. On appeal, Jackson claims that this third case violates the so-called “two dismissal” rule. (Pen. Code, § 1387, subd. (a).) We disagree. There is a “[g]ood cause” exception that applies under the circumstances. (§ 1387, subd. (c)(1).)
