P. v. Rivero
Rufino Rivero appeals from the judgment entered following his plea of guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, followed by a court trial in which he was found to have sustained a New Jersey prior conviction (attempted murder), which qualified as a serious felony under Penal Code section 667, subdivision (a)(1), and sections 667, subdivisions (b)(i), and 1170.12 (the Three Strikes law). Defendant contends that the prosecution failed to prove that the New Jersey attempted murder was a serious felony under California law. Court agree and accordingly reverse the finding of defendants prior conviction. In all other respects, Court affirm.
