P. v. Layton
Following a jury trial, defendant Tyrone Layton was convicted of two counts of attempted premeditated and deliberate murder (Pen. Code[1] 187, subd. (a), 664), five counts of making criminal threats ( 422), and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon ( 245, subd. (a)(1)). In a bifurcated trial, the court found true the allegations that defendant suffered two prior serious felony convictions ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)). He was sentenced to state prison for two consecutive indeterminate life terms, five consecutive terms of 25 years to life, and 10 additional years for his two prior serious conviction enhancements. Defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in denying his request to withdraw his waiver of counsel and that the trial court committed sentencing error.[
