P. v. Chenot CA5
Chenot was convicted of making criminal threats and of arson of an inhabited dwelling while a state of emergency was in effect. She challenges only her arson conviction on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel. We reject this claim. Chenot also contends the trial court erroneously imposed a prior prison term sentence enhancement. The People concede the point because the enhancement was neither pleaded in the information nor proven at trial. We agree with the parties and strike the prior prison term enhancement. Finally, Chenot argues that fines and fees imposed by the trial court at sentencing must be stricken because the court failed to orally pronounce specific fine and fee amounts at sentencing. The People respond that the trial court’s oral pronouncement to the effect that fines and fees were imposed as set forth in the probation report was sufficient.
