P. v. Richmond CA5
Eldrick Richmond was convicted of murder. In a prior appeal, we found error related to the first degree premeditation finding and reversed the judgment with directions to accept a reduction to second degree murder or retry the premeditation allegation. (People v. Richmond (Feb. 19, 2021, F078340) [nonpub. opn.].) The People chose the former.
Upon remand, the court resentenced Richmond to serve 35 years to life in prison based in part on enhancements for a prior strike and prior serious felony conviction. The prior convictions were the same prior conviction.
At issue in this appeal is whether the court properly imposed the prior serious felony enhancement. We hold the sentence was proper, and affirm.
