P. v. Coxe
This is an appeal pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. In 2003, a jury found defendant Shawn Michael Coxe guilty of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211),[1]battery with serious bodily injury ( 243, subd. (d)) and misdemeanor assault ( 240), and the trial court found an allegation that he had a prior conviction for robbery ( 211) true. Defendant was sentenced to an aggregate term of 15 years in state prison, which included an upper term for the robbery charge. In support of the upper term, the court cited the fact that the crime involved great violence and acts disclosing a high degree of cruelty, viciousness, and callousness; and, in addition, . . . , the [d]efendant occupied a position of leadership . . . .
The judgment is affirmed.
