In the published portion of this opinion, a First District panel holds that the 10 year enhancement for violent felonies in which a PC 186.22 gang allegation is true, does not apply when the sentence to be enhanced is any life sentence.
This means Salvador's sentence will be reduced from 425 years-to-life to 325 years-to-life.
After reading the factual synopsis, 325-life does not seem excessive.
[The opening paragraph of the opinion requires a correction. The phrase "brutalized nightmare" should read "brutal nightmare"; Jane Doe was brutalized, her nightmare was brutal.]
