P. v. Mills
Jack Mills held a gun to the head of Maria Aguilar and shot Juan Ortiz Aguilar during a botched home-invasion robbery. A jury found him guilty of the attempted murder of Juan Ortiz Aguilar (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 664),[1] two counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)), two counts of attempted second degree robbery (§§ 211, 664), first degree burglary (§ 459), and possession of a firearm by a felon. (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1).) The jury also found true numerous sentence enhancement allegations relating to appellant's use of a firearm and infliction of great bodily injury. As we will explain in greater detail below, the trial court sentenced appellant, a third-strike offender, to 59 years to life for the attempted murder, a consecutive term of 35 years to life for the assault with a firearm on Maria Aguilar, and a consecutive term of 53 years to life for the attempted robbery of Maria Aguilar. Concurrent terms of 35 years to life and 28 years to life were imposed for the assault with a firearm on, and the attempted robbery of Juan Aguilar. Terms imposed for the burglary and firearm possession were stayed pursuant to section 654.
