In re Ontiveros CA4/1
In 2017, Israel Ontiveros was convicted of multiple felonies and sentenced to state prison in two criminal cases. In the first case, a jury convicted Ontiveros on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)), a nonviolent felony (id., § 667.5, subd. (c)). With enhancements and priors, the trial court sentenced him to an effective prison term of 19 years 8 months. In the second case, Ontiveros pleaded guilty to one count of robbery (id., § 211), a violent felony (id., § 667.5, subd. (c)(9)). With priors, the court sentenced him to a term of seven years in prison, to run consecutively to the sentence in the first case.
Two years later, Ontiveros requested early parole consideration under Proposition 57, the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016.
