P. v. Greenwade
A jury found defendant and appellant Cheryl Ranae Greenwade not guilty of first or second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) [1] but convicted her of the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter (§ 192, subd. (a)). In addition, the jury found that defendant had used a deadly weapon, namely a knife, in the killing of the victim. (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1).) The trial court sentenced defendant to the upper term of 11 years, with a one-year weapon enhancement.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion by imposing the maximum sentence allowed by law. We disagree and affirm the trial court’s order.
