P. v. Sawicki
A jury convicted Joseph James Sawicki of attempted voluntary manslaughter, a lesser included offense of attempted murder (Pen. Code 664/192(a)),[1] and found true enhancement allegations for the use of a deadly weapon and the infliction of great bodily injury. ( 12022, subd. (b)(1), 12022.7, subd. (a).) The trial court found true allegations Sawicki had served a prior prison term ( 667.5, subd. (b)), and that he had a prior strike conviction within the meaning of the Three Strikes law ( 667, subd. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subd. (c)(1).) The court imposed a total term of 11 years, consisting of the mid-term sentence of three years for attempted voluntary manslaughter, which was then doubled to a term of six years by the Three Strikes law, plus consecutive terms of one year for the use of a deadly weapon, three years for the infliction of great bodily injury, and a one year for serving a prior prison term.
