P. v. Medrano CA2/1
On March 2, 2001, a jury found Jesus Medrano guilty of unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)), petty theft with a prior (Pen. Code, § 666), and two counts of first degree residential burglary (§ 459). The jury found true several special allegations, including that Medrano had sustained multiple prior strike convictions (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i) & 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1).) The trial court sentenced Medrano to 55 years to life in prison: a third strike, consecutive sentence of 25 years to life for each burglary count, plus a consecutive term of five years for the prior serious felony enhancement. The court imposed concurrent terms for the other offenses. The court ordered Medrano to pay a $5,000 restitution fine. (Former § 1202.4, subd. (b).) Medrano appealed, and this court affirmed the judgment in 2002. (People v. Medrano (May 29, 2002, B151317) [nonpub. opn.].)
