P. v. Cervantes
Victor Manuel Cervantes appeals from the judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of four counts of first degree robbery, one count of conspiracy to commit residential robbery, four counts of false imprisonment by violence, one count of first degree burglary, and four counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (Pen. Code, 211, 182, subd. (a)(1), 236, 459, 245, subd. (b)).[1] As to the robbery counts, the jury also found true allegations that appellant acted in concert with two or more persons ( 213). As to all counts, with the exception of the conspiracy count, the jury found that appellant personally used a firearm ( 12022.53, subd. (a)(4)). Appellant contends that insufficient evidence was presented connecting him to the planning or execution of the robbery. Appellant also contends the trial court erred by refusing to strike one of his prior convictions because two of the prior convictions arose from the same incident. Court reject his contentions and affirm.
