P. v. Medina
Appellant and defendant Oscar Medina was convicted by a jury of possessing a controlled substance. He was convicted by the court of two counts of assault with a firearm with gang enhancements. Medina was sentenced to a total term of four years on one of the assault counts, with a four-year sentence on the other assault count and a three-year sentence on the possession count, all ordered to run concurrently. On appeal, he argued: 1) the trial court failed to announce the judgment before imposing sentence and did not make the true findings as to the enhancements; 2) the enhancements should have been stricken according to the terms of the jury waiver; and 3) the sentence violates Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 (Blakely). Court previously affirmed the judgment and conviction with instructions to the trial court concerning custody credits; now, on remand from the United States Supreme Court, Court again affirm and remand with instructions.
