What is the range of enhancements for a firearm enhancement on a charge of first-degree murder?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Vickers, F071606 (Cal. App. 2016):
imprisonment in the state prison for 3, 4, or 10 years ...." Trial courts are required to impose the enhancements for the full term on crimes for which an indeterminate sentence is imposed. (People v. Felix (2000) 22 Cal.4th 651, 656.) Therefore, the trial court erred when it imposed the firearm use enhancement on the murder count at one-third the midterm sentence.
