What is the range of sentences for assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threat charges?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nava, B255719 (Cal. App. 2015):
Defendant argues the trial court improperly imposed the five-year serious felony enhancement for each assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threat count, although determinate sentencing law permits a five-year serious felony enhancement to be imposed only once because it is an offender-based enhancement, relying on People v. Tassell (1984) 36 Cal.3d 77, 90.
