P. v. Riley
A jury convicted defendant Dewayne Maurice Riley of 12 offenses arising from the gang-related robbery of about $169 from a Jack in the Box restaurant, while accompanied by codefendant Calvin Ray Vance, a fellow gang member.[2] Defendant was the gunman. The court sentenced defendant to an aggregate prison term of 243 years (225 years to life plus 18 years).
On appeal defendant challenges the five convictions of aggravated kidnapping for robbery (§ 209, subd. (b)(1), counts 1 through 5). We reverse defendant’s conviction on count 1 for aggravated kidnapping and order the trial court to impose the stayed sentence for robbery (§ 211) on count 6. Otherwise, we reject defendant’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
