P. v. Soto
Abraham Soto (appellant) appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial resulting in his conviction of arson of an inhabited structure or property (Pen. Code, 451, subd. (b)),[1]and the trial courts finding in bifurcated proceedings that appellant had suffered a prior serious felony that qualified him for a five-year enhancement, as well as for sentencing pursuant to the Three Strikes law ( 667, 1170.12). After trial, the trial court heard and denied a Romero motion. (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero).) The trial court sentenced him to an aggregate
11‑year prison term, consisting of a doubled lower term of three years, or six years, enhanced by five years for the prior serious felony conviction. Court appointed counsel to represent him in this appeal.
