P. v. Henderson
Neil Morgon Henderson appeals a judgment following his conviction of escape by force or violence (count 1) and resisting an executive officer (count 2), with findings that he suffered a felony strike conviction and served three prison terms. (Pen. Code, §§ 4532, subd. (b)(2), 69, 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667.5, subd. (b).)[1]
At a jury trial, the prosecutor presented evidence that on August 16, 2010, Henderson escaped from a Los Angeles courtroom as he awaited a hearing. A deputy sheriff chased him into the hallway and attempted to restrain him. A scuffle ensued and Henderson pushed the deputy, who fell and injured his head and shoulder. Two police officers then assisted the deputy in restraining and handcuffing Henderson.
In a separate proceeding, the prosecutor presented evidence that Henderson suffered a serious felony strike conviction and served four prison terms. (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667.5, subd. (b).)
