Is there any case law where a defendant has been found guilty of a range of criminal offences, including conspiracy to escape from jail, false imprisonment, and possession of a firearm?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Fisk, C058365 (Cal. App. 4/20/2009), C058365. (Cal. App. 2009):
As the trial court noted, defendant's criminal history was "absolutely totally miserable." It included conspiring to escape from jail, false imprisonment, and possession of a firearm. This was a reasonable basis for the court not to exercise its discretion to dismiss defendant's strikes. (See People v. Williams, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 162.) Defendant's arguments to the contrary are unavailing.
