P. v. Helsema
A jury found defendant John Lawrence Halsema guilty of second degree murder, sustaining an allegation that his personal use of a gun resulted in death. While trial in the present matter was pending, another jury convicted defendant in a case of manufacturing a controlled substance (CM036509), for which he received a three-year county prison term. The trial court resentenced defendant to a determinate state prison term for the drug conviction, and imposed a consecutive indeterminate 40-year state prison term for the present offense (CM036062). As is pertinent in this appeal, the court also imposed a restitution fine of $280 and a general fine of $200 (with $580 in fees and assessments).
