P. v. Rose CA2/4
Following a jury trial, appellant was convicted of possession for sale of phencyclidine (PCP) (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378.5). In a bifurcated trial, the jury also found true appellant’s five prior convictions (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)), one prior strike (§ 667, subd. (d)/ § 1170.12, subd. (b)), and a controlled substance offense involving a minor (Health & Saf. Code, § 11370.2, subd. (b)).
Appellant was sentenced to a prison term of 12 years, consisting of a four-year midterm for possession for sale of PCP, doubled for the prior strike, and four years for each of four prior prison term enhancements. The trial court struck the remaining prior prison term enhancement, as well as the allegation that appellant previously committed a controlled substance offense involving a minor.
