People v. Medeiros
Annotate this Case
Medeiros was convicted of embezzlement and grand theft of property valued in excess of $1.3 million. The court sentenced Medeiros to a seven-year prison term: the middle term of two years for grand theft, three years for Penal Code section 12022.6(a)(3) amount of loss enhancement, and two years for the section 186.11(a)(2) aggravated white-collar enhancement. It stayed his two-year, middle-term sentence for embezzlement and for all enhancements attached to that charge.
The court of appeal affirmed in part, rejecting Medeiros’s claim that it should strike a Penal Code former section 12022.6 enhancement because the statute was repealed before he was sentenced. Vacating and remanding in part, the court agreed that either his conviction for embezzlement or his grand theft conviction should be stricken as they are two statements of the same offense under Penal Code section 954. The court also agreed that the true finding on his section 186.11 enhancement should be stricken because he did not commit two related felonies. The judgment should be amended to correct the total amount of the court security fee and criminal conviction assessment. The court declined to remand for a further hearing to determine the amount of and his ability to pay victim restitution.
