P. v. Golden
On June 22, 2007, defendant and appellant Anthony Eugene Golden (defendant) pled guilty to one count of lewd and lascivious acts with a person under 14 years of age, in violation of Penal Codesection 288, subdivision (a); and one count of oral copulation with a person under 18 years of age, in violation of section 288a, subdivision (b)(1). As part of a negotiated plea agreement, defendant was sentenced to the middle term of six years on the first count, and a concurrent term of two years on the second count, for a total term of six years. The sentence, however, was suspended and defendant was placed on probation for 60 months, under specified terms and conditions.
On August 7, 2008, a petition to revoke probation was filed. The following day, defendant denied violating his probation. On October 31, 2008, the trial court held a hearing under People v. Vickers (1972) 8 Cal.3d 451, to revoke defendants probation. Following the testimony of defendants probation officer, Carlos Camacho, the trial court revoked and terminated defendants probation and sentenced defendant to the previously-imposed term of six years. In addition, on March 18, 2009, the trial court imposed a restitution fine of $7,120 under section 1202.4.
