P. v. Alatorre CA4/1
A jury convicted Brian Daniel Alatorre of three counts of kidnapping during a carjacking (Pen. Code, § 209.5, subd. (a); counts 1, 2 & 3), and found true allegations that Alatorre personally used a knife in the commission of the offenses within the meaning of section 12022, subdivision (b)(2). The trial court found true that Alatorre suffered one prior strike conviction within the meaning of sections 667, subdivisions (b)-(j), and 1170.12. In February 2018, it sentenced Alatorre to nine years plus 42 years to life in state prison, consisting of a consecutive term of seven years to life doubled to 14 years to life for each of the three counts, plus a consecutive three-year term for each knife-use enhancement under section 12022, subdivision (b)(2).
