P. v. Ortiz
A jury convicted defendant Jose M. Ortiz of one count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury (Pen. Code,[1] § 243, subd. (d)), and found true an allegation that he personally inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). Defendant admitted that he suffered a prior conviction within the meaning of the Three Strikes law (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667, subds. (b)-(i)), and that he suffered a prior serious felony conviction within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a)(1). The trial court denied defendant’s motion to strike the prior conviction allegation and sentenced him to the midterm of three years in prison, doubled under the Three Strikes law, plus five years under section 667, subdivision (a)(1), for a total aggregate term of 11 years.
