CALIFORNIA C RIMINAL LAW: PROVING OUT-OF-STATE PRIORS
PROVING OUT-OF-STATE PRIORS
The def.is sentence here was doubled because of an Alabama prior. For
that prior to qualify as a strike, the "face of the record" had to show
infliction of great bodily injury by the def. on someone other than an
accomplice. The C/A assures us that the document at issue here, a copy
of an original certified copy of the indictment, qualifies as face of
the record. Remember, even if a crime isnit on the PC 1192.7(c) serious
felony list, it can still be a strike prior if the "face of the record"
shows conduct thatis on the list.
