P. v. Thompson
Defendant Leroy Bruce Thompson appeals from a judgment entered following his conviction by a jury trial of four counts of second degree robbery (Pen. Code,[1] § 211), eight counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)), and one count of attempted second degree robbery (§§ 211, 664). After a court trial, the following allegations as to all counts were found to be true: (1) a principal was armed with a firearm (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)); (2) defendant personally used a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)); (3) defendant had suffered three prior strike convictions (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12); (4) defendant had suffered three prior convictions of a serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)); and (5) defendant had served three prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The court sentenced defendant to 236 years to life plus 38 years in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion in denying his Marsden[2] and Romero[3] motions, and in failing to stay the sentence on count 11 (attempted robbery). We find no ground for reversal and affirm the judgment.
