P. v. Savage
Appellant Robert Allen Savage was charged with two counts of making criminal threats (Pen. Code, § 422, counts 1 and 2)[1] and one count of misdemeanor exhibiting a deadly weapon (§ 471, subd. (a)(1), count 3). The information also alleged that Savage used a deadly and dangerous weapon in the commission of counts 1 and 2 (§12022, subd. (b)(1)), and that he had a prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i)), and had served three prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). After many continuances, Savage accepted the prosecution’s offer and pled no contest to counts 1 and 2, and admitted the prior strike, a weapons enhancement, and two of the prior prison term enhancements for a stipulated prison term of six years. The remaining allegations were dismissed. The court subsequently imposed the six-year prison term. Despite not having moved to withdraw his plea in the trial court, Savage appeals contending the judgment should be reversed because (1) his plea was coerced and (2) the record fails to show he affirmatively waived his constitutional rights. In addition, Savage contends he is entitled to additional custody credits. We find no merit to the contentions and affirm.
