P. v. Quinonez
A jury found Gustavo Soto Quinonez guilty of making criminal threats (Pen. Code,[1] § 422) while armed with a firearm (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)) and with personal use of a firearm (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)) (count 2). The jury deadlocked on a charge of burglary (§ 459) (count 1), and the court declared a mistrial on that count. The court sentenced Quinonez to prison for four years four months: the 16-month lower term for the substantive offense; the three-year lower term for personal firearm use; and a stayed term for the remaining enhancement (§ 654). Quinonez appeals, contending the finding he personally used a firearm is unsupported by substantial evidence. We affirm.
