P. v. Downing
After court trial, appellant Paul Downing was convicted of a violation of Penal Code section 422,[1] making terrorist threats. The court also found that appellant had had four prior serious or violent felony convictions within the meaning of sections 667, subdivisions (b) through (i), and 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d) (the "Three Strikes" law). He was sentenced to state prison for a term of 25 years to life pursuant to the Three Strikes law, plus one year for a prior prison term pursuant to section 667.5, subdivision (b). On this appeal, he contends that there was insufficient evidence for his conviction and that the court abused its discretion when it refused to strike one or more of his prior convictions. Finding no error, we affirm.
