P. v. McCoy CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, Jamel McCoy, entered a guilty plea to the court to false imprisonment (count 1; Pen. Code, § 236) and two counts of robbery (counts 2 & 3; § 211). Defendant additionally admitted that a person with whom he committed the counts 1 and 2 offenses was armed (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)) and that he himself was personally armed while he committed the count 3 offense (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)). As indicated, the court sentenced defendant to an aggregate sentence of 15 years of imprisonment. The court later granted a request pursuant to an ex parte letter from defense counsel and stayed punishment on the count 1 offense and attached enhancement, resulting in reduction of defendant’s aggregate sentence to 14 years four months of imprisonment.
