The following excerpt is from People v. Griffin, D077006 (Cal. App. 2021):
2. At sentencing, the People conceded that the prior conviction had been reduced to a misdemeanor and could not serve as the basis of a serious felony enhancement. (See People v. Park (2013) 56 Cal.4th 782, 795.) However, the conviction remained a strike for purposes of the Three Strikes law. (See 667, subd. (d)(1), 1170.12; Park, supra, at p. 794.)
