P. v. McMorran
A jury found John Patrick McMorran guilty of two counts of securities fraud (Corp. Code, § 25401) (counts 1 and 2) and two counts of grand theft (Pen. Code,[1] § 487, subd. (a)) (counts 3 and 4), and found counts 1 and 3 involved property worth more than $50,000 (§ 12022.6, subd. (a)(1)) and counts 2 and 4 involved property worth more than $150,000 (§ 12022.6, subd. (a)(2)). The court sentenced McMorran to five years in prison: the three-year middle term on count 2 and two years for the enhancement, a concurrent three-year middle term on count 1 with a concurrent one-year term for the enhancement, and concurrent two-year middle terms on counts 3 and 4 with concurrent terms of one and two years, respectively, for the enhancements. McMorran appeals, contending the court should have stayed the sentences on counts 3 and 4 (§ 654). We agree.
