P. v. Yang
A jury convicted defendant, Thai Yang, of second degree burglary of a vehicle. (Pen. Code, § 459.) Defendant admitted that three section 667.5, subdivision (b) prior separate prison term allegations (case Nos. NA052264, NA033117, NA069839) were true. He also admitted that one sections 667, subdivisions (b) through (i) and 1170.12 prior serious felony conviction allegation (case No. NA03317) was true. Defendant was sentenced to nine years in state prison. (§ 1170, subd. (h)(3).) The trial court imposed the high term for the burglary. In doing so, the trial court stated, “The record should reflect that the court is imposing the high term on count one based on the fact that the defendant was and has been multiple convicted felon, went to prison three separate times, last time being 2006 for a term of 32 months.â€
