P. v. Sanders
Two shotguns were found in the master bedroom closet of the apartment where appellant Maurice D. Sanders resided with his wife. Appellant was convicted after jury trial of two counts of unlawfully possessing a firearm after conviction of a felony (counts 1 & 3; former Pen. Code, § 12021, subd. (a)(1))[1] and two counts of possessing a firearm after conviction of a specified violent offense (counts 2 & 4; former § 12021.1, subd. (a)).[2] All four counts were based on his simultaneous possession of two firearms. The court found four prior strike allegations and three prior prison term allegations to be true. (§§ 667, subds. (a)-(e), 1170.12, 667.5, subd. (d).) Appellant was sentenced on counts 1 and 3 to 25-years-to-life imprisonment; the term imposed on count 3 was ordered to run concurrently with the term imposed on count 1. He was sentenced to terms of 25-years-to-life imprisonment on counts 2 and 4 but imposition of punishment was stayed pursuant to section 654. The court struck all of the prior prison term enhancements.
