P. v. Barnes
In People v. Barnes (Feb. 10, 2012, E050704 [nonpub. opn.]) this court noted that defendant had been convicted by a jury of three counts of robbery, during which he used a firearm, and two counts of being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm. (Id. at p. 2.) We further noted that in bifurcated proceedings, the trial court found true allegations that defendant had suffered convictions for two serious offenses and two strike priors and that he had been sentenced to prison for two terms of 25 years to life, plus 23 years, four months. (Ibid.) We affirmed his convictions and the true findings for his 1992 prior, but reversed the true findings for his 1997 federal bank robbery conviction on the basis of insufficiency of the evidence. (Id. at pp. 2, 13.) We gave the People the option of retrying defendant on the allegations concerning that prior (id. at p. 13), which they did. The trial court again made true findings as to it. Defendant here contends that the evidence presented was insufficient to sustain the trial court’s findings. We disagree.
