Description
Here we reverse an order of the trial court striking a serious felony prior, because the court ignored the Three Strikes sentencing scheme articulated by the Legislature and substituted its own private view of an appropriate sentence. In doing so, the court failed to follow sentencing guidelines set out in the California Rules of Court and in case law. The court also ignored its own Conclusions about the crimes themselves and the defendant who committed them. Such actions constitute an abuse of discretion.
