P. v. Norwood CA5
Rayon Jeremiah Norwood was convicted of nine crimes, with gun and gang enhancements, in connection with a home invasion robbery that entailed torture and shooting of an elderly resident. After an initial appeal, this court reversed one conviction and struck three prior prison term enhancements. It also remanded the case for the trial court to clarify its sentence on count 2—80 years to life for robbery of an inhabited dwelling in concert with others—and to consider its newly granted discretion to strike the previously imposed gun and prior serious felony enhancements. (People v. Norwood (June 11, 2020; F076664) [nonpub. opn.].)
On remand, the trial court declined to strike any of the gun or prior conviction enhancements. It then resentenced Norwood on all counts, including a term of 78 years to life in prison on count 2. Norwood contends that the basis for the court’s sentence on count 2 remains unclear and unauthorized, warranting another remand.
