P. v. Huff
Appellant, Jordan David Huff, was convicted after a jury trial of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (b), count one)[1] and dissuading a witness by force or threat (§ 136.1, subd. (c)(1), count two).[2] The jury found that appellant personally used a semiautomatic firearm (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)(1)). The trial court sentenced appellant to prison terms of six years on count one, four years for the firearm enhancement, and a consecutive term of one year for dissuading a witness by force or threat.
Appellant contends the trial court erred in failing to state reasons for not placing him on probation, for imposing the midterm sentence on counts one and two, and for giving him consecutive sentences on counts one and two. Appellant further contends the trial court denied him his right to a jury trial in sentencing him to a consecutive term on count two. We reject both arguments and will affirm.
