P. v. Long
Anthony Michael Long, Jesse James Preston and Bryant Stephan Johnson (the defendants) entered negotiated guilty pleas to mayhem (Pen. Code, § 203; count 2, victim Michael Bajko; all statutory references are to the Penal Code) and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon by force likely to cause great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1); count 3, victim Bajko; counts 5 and 7, victim Eric Taylor; counts 6 and 8, victim Scott McPhail). The court sentenced Long and Preston to eight years in prison: the eight-year upper term for mayhem, four concurrent three-year middle terms for assault and a stayed term (§ 654) for the assault in count 3. The court sentenced Johnson to 11 years in prison: the eight-year upper term for mayhem; three consecutive one-year terms (one-third the middle term) for the assaults in counts 5, 6 and 7; a concurrent three-year middle term for the assault in count 8; and a stayed term (§ 654) for the assault in count 3. The defendants appeal. We affirm.
