People v. Bell
Annotate this Case
Defendants were convicted of numerous crimes related to a 2007 robbery of a casino and a conspiracy to rob the casino again a year later. After defendants' convictions were conditionally reversed in a prior appeal, the prosecution moved to strike defendants' pleas of once in jeopardy. The trial court granted the motion and reinstated the prior judgments.
The Court of Appeal held that the motion to strike defendants' double jeopardy plea was properly granted; Defendants Williams, Joseph, and Lewis have not shown prejudicial Sanchez error; and the court accepted the jury's concession that the 10 year personal firearm enhancement imposed on count 28 must be stricken as to Williams. The court remanded for the trial court to apply newly enacted legislation, Senate Bills 620 and 1393, to its sentencing decisions.
