P. v. Patterson CA2/8
After a jury found defendant Denzel Alden Patterson guilty of robbing a jewelry store, the trial court imposed a sentence of 19 years in state prison, including a one-year enhancement for a prior prison term, and ordered defendant to pay $208,000 in victim restitution. On appeal, defendant argues: (1) the trial court abused its discretion by admitting evidence of an uncharged robbery; (2) his prior prison term enhancement must be stricken; and (3) the abstract of judgment must be amended to reflect joint and several restitution with defendant’s codefendants. Disagreeing with defendant’s first claim, but agreeing with his two other claims, we will remand for resentencing
