P. v. Griffin
After defendant twice scuffled with jail personnel while he was incarcerated, a jury convicted him of three counts of resisting an executive officer, one count of battery on a custodial officer, and one count of misdemeanor battery on an officer. He was sentenced to an aggregate state prison term of eight years and eight months, including consecutive sentences for the three convictions for resisting an executive officer. The sentence imposed for battery on a custodial officer was stayed pursuant to Penal Code section 654.
On appeal, defendant contends the imposition of consecutive sentences violated the principles of Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 [159 L.Ed.2d 403] (hereafter Blakely). Court disagree and affirm the judgment.
