P. v. Henry CA6
Defendant Jared Marius Henry was convicted of several offenses following an incident in which he seriously injured his spouse (hereafter, victim) while he drove their vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He was sentenced to a total term of nine years in prison on one of four counts with the trial court imposing concurrent terms on the remaining three counts.
On appeal, Henry argues the trial court erred in imposing concurrent terms and that it should have instead stayed each of those three sentences pursuant to Penal Code section 654. Alternatively, he contends that the trial court should have stayed two of the three concurrent sentences.
As explained below, we agree that the trial court improperly imposed concurrent sentences on two of the three counts, and will modify the judgment accordingly.
