Description
Defendant Gregory Tommie Jones was convicted of acts of forcible rape, sodomy, and oral copulation against a single victim, with findings, as to each offense, of kidnapping and use of a deadly weapon. It was found that he committed the offenses on more than a "single occasion" within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.61, subdivision (g), part of the so-called one strike law, which provides that a term of life imprisonment "shall be imposed on the defendant once for any offense or offenses committed against a single victim during a single occasion." It was also found that defendant, who wielded a knife against the victim after the sexual assaults were completed, used the weapon "in the commission of" the crimes, within the meaning of Penal Code section 12022.3. The Court of Appeal affirmed both findings.
