P. v. Bacchus CA2/8
Defendant and appellant Travis Rene Bacchus appeals from his conviction by jury of possession of metal knuckles and making criminal threats. The court also found true that defendant had suffered a prior conviction for a violent or serious felony within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law. Defendant was sentenced to a state prison term of seven years eight months. Defendant raises two claims of instructional error, and also contends reversal is mandated because his conviction for possession of metal knuckles is not supported by substantial evidence. In supplemental briefing, defendant argues remand for resentencing is warranted in light of the passage of Senate Bill No. 1393 during the pendency of this appeal which amended Penal Code sections 667 and 1385.
