P. v. Wyatt
Terran Maurice Wyatt appeals a judgment after conviction by jury of one count of possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)) and one count of being under the influence of a controlled substance (id., § 11550, subd. (a)). In a bifurcated proceeding, the jury found true allegations that Wyatt suffered a prior conviction for transporting cocaine base in 2007 (id., § 11352, subd. (a)) and for assault with a firearm in 1993 (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(2)). The trial court found Wyatt suffered a prior prison term. It sentenced him to four years in state prison for the possession offense, consisting of the midterm doubled for the prior strike (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subd. (e)(1), 1170.12, subd. (b) & (c)(1)); a consecutive one-year term for the prior prison term (id., § 667.5, subd. (b)); and a concurrent 90-day term in jail for being under the influence of a controlled substance.
