P. v. Cross
A jury convicted Jerome Lee Cross of: (1) stalking Varnetta Griggs between June 1, 2008, and January 7, 2009 (Pen. Code, 646.9, subd. (a); count 1); (2) making criminal threats against Varnetta Griggs and Rafael Pena on or about December 7, 2008 ( 422; count 2); and (3) making criminal threats against Varnetta Griggs on or about January 7, 2009 ( 422; count 3). In a bifurcated proceeding, the jury found true allegations that Cross suffered three prior convictions for which he served prison terms and failed to remain free of custody for five years after the prison terms concluded ( 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced Cross to state prison for five years and eight months, comprised of the three-year upper term for count 1, a consecutive eight-month term for count 2, and two years for the separate prior prison terms. The trial court imposed a concurrent three year term for count 3.
