P. v. Wells CA2/11
jury convicted defendant James Carter Wells in 2014 of corporal injury to a spouse (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)), assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), and misdemeanor vandalism (§ 594, subd. (a)(2)). The court found true allegations defendant had suffered two prior serious felony convictions (§ 667, subd. (a)) in addition to other enhancement allegations.
Defendant appealed the judgment and our court remanded the matter to the trial court to conduct a resentencing hearing to consider whether to strike defendant’s prior serious felony enhancements in light of the passage of Senate Bill No. 1393 (2017–2018 Reg. Sess.) (Senate Bill 1393).
