P. v. Matthews
A jury found Antriel Matthews guilty of committing a robbery (Pen. Code,[1] § 211) and that he committed the crime for the benefit of a criminal street gang (§ 186.22). Matthews admitted he had three prior felony convictions. (§ 1203, subd. (e)(4).) The court imposed a 13-year prison term, consisting of a three-year middle term for the robbery plus a 10-year consecutive term on the gang enhancement. The court also revoked Matthews's probation on three prior felony convictions, and imposed a middle term on each felony to run concurrently with the sentence on the current offense.
On appeal, Matthews contends the court erred by: (1) denying his mistrial motion based on his prosecutorial misconduct claim; and (2) denying his motion to strike the 10-year sentence on the gang enhancement. We reject these contentions and affirm.
