California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Morgan, B230674 (Cal. App. 2012):
Defendant contends the trial court improperly imposed recidivism enhancements under sections 667, subdivision (a), and 667.5, subdivision (b), for the same prior convictions. The Attorney General concedes sentencing error under People v. Jones (1993) 5 Cal.4th 1142, 1148-1152 (Jones). We accept the concession.
