P. v. Jordan CA2/8
Ralph Jordan (appellant) and three other men were charged with attempted robbery of a bank in violation of Penal Code sections 211, 664 and attempted murder during the failed robbery in violation of sections 664, 187, subdivision (a). One codefendant, Jeffery Brown, entered into a plea agreement and testified at trial against appellant and remaining codefendants Bryan Speight and Harold Johnson. Speight and Johnson had unsuccessfully sought plea agreements before trial; later, at the end of the People’s case-in-chief, they were able to reach plea agreements, but did not enter their pleas until after the trial. Jordan’s case was submitted to the jury, which convicted him as charged, and found true the allegation that a principal was armed with a handgun in the commission of both offenses. (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1).)
Jordan waived his right to jury trial on prior conviction allegations.
