What is the range of sentences for assault with a deadly weapon?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hercules, B285740 (Cal. App. 2019):

At trial a jury found appellant guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. After appellant waived his right to a jury trial on the prior conviction allegations, the trial court found them to be true as well, such that appellant had two prior strike convictions, which were also prior serious felonies under section 667, subdivision (a)(1). After striking one strike conviction pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, the court sentenced appellant to a total of 16 years in state prison: the middle term of three years, doubled under the Three Strikes law, plus 10 years for the two section 667, subdivision (a) priors. Appellant timely appealed.
