P. v. Bradford
Carl Bradford entered a negotiated guilty plea to possessing cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, 11350, subd. (a)), and admitted a prior strike (Pen. Code, 667, subd. (b)-(i), 667, 1170.12).[1] On May 9, 2005, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed him on three years' probation pursuant to section 1210. On September 22, the court formally revoked and reinstated probation. On December 21, it again formally revoked and reinstated probation. On June 16, 2006, it revoked probation for the third time. It denied a motion to strike the prior strike and sentenced Bradford to four years in prison: double the two year middle term for possessing a controlled substance with a prior strike. Bradford contends that denying the motion to strike the prior strike was an improper sentencing choice. The judgment is affirmed.
