P. v. Vidales
A jury found defendant Jose Manual Garcia Vidales guilty of second degree robbery, conspiracy to commit a felony, criminal street gang activity, and exhibiting a deadly weapon other than a firearm, a misdemeanor. In connection with the felonies, the jury found that defendant personally used a deadly or dangerous weapon. The jury could not reach a verdict on gang enhancements. Instead of retrial on the gang enhancements, defendant entered a negotiated admission to the gang enhancement attached to the conspiracy count in exchange for both the dismissal of the gang enhancement attached to the robbery and a stipulated sentence of 11 years. The court sentenced defendant accordingly.
