P. v. Jones
A jury convicted Derek Jones of murder and attempted murder. Jones appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence that he caused great bodily injury to the attempted murder victim, and also arguing that two other sentence enhancements were erroneously imposed. We agree that the evidence of great bodily injury was not sufficient. Court also agree that one of the two challenged sentence enhancements was erroneously imposed, but we express no opinion on the other because it is unclear whether the trial court actually imposed it. We therefore direct the trial court to strike the challenged enhancement on the murder count, and Court vacate Joness sentence as to the attempted murder count and remand for resentencing on that count.
