P. v. Sanders
Appellant David Darrell Sanders (appellant) was found guilty, following a jury trial, of attempted extortion. On appeal, he contends (1) the jurys verdict is not supported by substantial evidence; (2) the trial court incorrectly instructed the jury on attempted extortion; (3) the court abused its discretion when it denied appellants motion to strike one or more prior serious felony convictions; (4) the court erred in failing to award appellant presentence conduct credits for time spent in county jail before sentencing; and (5) the court erred when it stayed, rather than struck, five one-year prior prison term enhancements. Because we conclude (1) the court should have awarded appellant presentence conduct credits, and (2) the court was only permitted to impose or strikenot staythe one-year prior prison term enhancements, Court remand the matter for resentencing as to these two issues only. Court otherwise affirm the judgment.
