P. v. Krdotyan CA4/2
Faced with two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, a “strike” prior, three prison priors, and a potential nine-year sentence, defendant and appellant Sarkis Krdotyan entered a guilty plea to a single count of felon in possession of a firearm with a “strike” prior in exchange for a six-year sentence (plea bargain). Separately, defendant entered into a Cooperating Individual Agreement (CIA) with the district attorney’s office. Pursuant to the terms of the CIA, if defendant fulfilled certain conditions, the prosecution would recommend a lesser sentence than called for by the plea bargain or no sentence at all. The defendant failed to fulfill the conditions of the CIA, and the trial court sentenced him according to the plea bargain.
