P. v. Pontod
This opinion follows our January 7, 2013 order granting defendant’s petition for rehearing and vacating our prior opinion in this matter. (People v. Pontod (Dec. 18, 2012, C065925) [nonpub. opn.]; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.268(d).)
A jury convicted defendants Manuel Ray Pontod and Jorge Jaime of each being a felon in possession of a firearm, and of the unlawful possession of ammunition. The jury also convicted Jaime of transporting methamphetamine, possessing methamphetamine for sale, and possessing a controlled substance with a loaded, operable firearm. In addition, the jury found that Jaime was armed in the commission of the offenses for transportation and possession of methamphetamine. The trial court found Pontod had two prior strike convictions and had served a prior prison term. It sentenced Pontod to a term of 25 years to life in state prison, and sentenced Jaime to a term of seven years and eight months in state prison.
