P. v. Boissonnault CA4/1
A jury convicted Eric Jon Boissonnault of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4); count 1) and active participation in a criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (a); count 2). It found true that Boissonnault committed count 1 for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (b)). In bifurcated proceedings, Boissonnault admitted he suffered three prior prison convictions under the "Three Strikes" law. The court sentenced him to 11 years in prison as follows: four years on count 1 plus four years on the gang enhancement and three years on his prior prison convictions. It stayed the count 2 sentence under section 654.
