Supreme Court of California

Under the second strike provision of the Three Strikes Law, Pen. Code section 667(e)(1), when a defendant‘s second-strike sentence includes multiple terms for several offenses, the five-year prior felony enhancement may only be applied once to multiple determinate terms as part of a second-strike sentence, not for each current offense. Defendant's stayed sentence of 229 years to life is vacated and remanded for resentencing.
