P. v. Ray
On January 16, 2009, the prosecutor filed a first amended felony complaint alleging respondent, Jason Shawn Ray, violated Penal Code section 290, subdivision (f)(1)(b)[1]by failing to register as a sex offender between September 18, 2008, and October 12, 2008. The complaint further alleged that Ray had four prior serious felony convictions within the meaning of the three strikes law. On April 23, 2009, Ray appeared in court. The prosecutor noted Ray was going to enter a no contest plea. The court noted it was inclined to give Ray the benefit of the doubt and was going to strike the prior serious felony convictions. The court warned Ray that, if he failed to meet the registration requirement, he had four strikes and faced a sentence of 25 years to life.
