P. v. Dawson
A jury convicted Gary Dawson of six counts of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211),[1] one count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (§ 245, subd. (b)), and three counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)). The crimes were committed during three separate incidents, on three separate days, each incident involving two victims. In a bifurcated part of trial, the jury found that Dawson had suffered a prior conviction for residential burglary; the prior conviction qualified as a strike and a prior serious felony (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d); 667, subd. (a)(1)). Also, the trial court found Dawson committed a felony while released on bail in another case (§ 12022.1). Dawson was sentenced to state prison for an aggregate term of 38 years. We find one of Dawson’s convictions for assault with a firearm must be reversed; we otherwise affirm the remaining convictions. We remand for resentencing.
