P. v. Frazier
Defendant Alaren Frazier committed a series of burglaries and vehicle thefts in Stockton over the course of nine days in April of 2006. One of those burglaries transformed into a home invasion robbery as defendant confronted 89-year-old Rosemary Sanchez in her bedroom and demanded cash and credit cards. Rather than comply with defendants demands, Rosemary reached for a cigar box on her nightstand which contained a loaded .38 caliber revolver. Before Rosemary could open the box to retrieve the gun, defendant grabbed the box and ran out of the house. One of the stolen vehicles was taken a week before the incident at Rosemarys house. The other vehicle was taken two days after. Both occurred at different locations and involved different victims. The details of these and other crimes will be set out more fully below. On appeal, defendant contends that one of his convictions for receiving stolen property must be reversed because California law bars conviction for robbery and for receiving the same property that was the subject of the robbery. Court agree, and will reverse one of defendants receiving stolen property convictions. However, as Court explain more fully below, we must also remand for resentencing because the trial court was required by Penal Code section 667, subdivision (c)(6), to sentence defendant to consecutive terms of 25 years to life on at least one count of unlawful taking or driving a vehicle that was not committed on the same occasion, and not arising from the same set of operative facts as the robbery count which formed the basis of the principal term.
