What are the consequences of a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon for a third strike crime?

At sentencing the trial court considered the probation report and Huerta's history of seven burglary and robbery convictions, as well as a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon, and his prior failures to successfully complete parole. Defense counsel argued in mitigation Huerta's crimes had not resulted in injury to any person and were the result of an underlying substance abuse problem. The court declined to dismiss the prior third strike offenses and imposed an indeterminate sentence of 25 years to life. We affirmed the judgment. (See People v. Huerta (Nov. 23, 1999, B130694) [nonpub. opn.].)
