P. v. Campbell CA3
Defendant John Matthew Campbell pleaded no contest to driving in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property while fleeing from a pursuing police officer (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a); case No. CM043634) and to unlawful taking or driving of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a); case No. CM043744). Defendant also admitted he had suffered a prior felony conviction within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and had served one prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced him to an aggregate term of eight years four months in prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion by failing to dismiss his strike prior pursuant to section 1385 and People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero). We disagree and affirm the judgment.
