P. v. Perkins
Defendant pleaded no contest to three felonies involving S., his granddaughter: a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14 years of age; indecent exposure, with a prior conviction; and annoying or molesting a child, having been convicted of a specified prior conviction. (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a), 314.1, 647.6, subd. (c)(2).)[1] Defendant also admitted that he had suffered three prior convictions for violations of section 288, subdivision (a). ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12.) The prior convictions involved his daughter, S.s mother. The court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate term of 50 years to life, consecutive to five years. Defendants sole contention on appeal is that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his Romero motion to strike one or more of his prior convictions under the Three Strikes law. (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero).) Court affirm.
