P. v. Russell
Appellant Larry Lee Russell, Jr. was convicted by jury of possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5). The trial court found that Russell had been convicted of the same crime on three prior occasions (Health & Saf. Code, § 11370.2) and had served two prior prison terms (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)).[1] Russell was sentenced to a 10-year term, the first eight years to be served in county jail and the remaining two years to be served on supervised community release. Russell argues that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of two prior convictions, failing to strike certain sentence enhancements, and ordering payment of attorney, drug program, and criminal assessment fees. We conclude that the attorney fees order must be reversed and that the judgment must be modified, but we otherwise affirm.
