P. v. Morreo
A jury convicted Jason C. Morreo of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer (Pen. Code,[1] 245, subd. (c)), carjacking ( 215, subd. (a)), attempted escape from custody by force or violence ( 4532, subd. (b)(2)), and resisting an executive officer with force or violence ( 69). The jury also found true that during the commission of each of the offenses, Morreo personally used a deadly or dangerous weapon. ( 12022, subd. (b)(1)-(2).) The jury found Morreo not guilty of attempted murder of a peace officer. ( 187, subd. (a).) After finding that Morreo had two strike priors ( 667, subd. (b)), a serious felony prior ( 667, subd. (a)(1)), and two prison priors ( 667.5, subd. (b)), the trial court sentenced Morreo to 64 years to life in state prison. As discussed below, Court conclude that Morreo's challenges to his convictions are without merit. Court agree, however, that he must be resentenced.
