THE PEOPLE, C078653

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 14F05637)

v.

SCOTT RICHARD ST. PIERRE,

Defendant and Appellant.

A jury found defendant Scott Richard St. Pierre guilty of willfully evading a police

officer causing serious bodily injury (Veh. Code, § 2800.3, subd. (a)). In a bifurcated

proceeding, the trial court found true the special allegations that defendant’s previous

conviction for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated (Pen. Code, § 191.5, subd.

(a))1 qualified as a serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)) and a strike under California’s

three strikes law (§ 1170.12). The trial court sentenced defendant to 19 years in state

prison. On appeal, defendant contends there was insufficient evidence to support the trial

court’s finding that his prior conviction for gross vehicular manslaughter while

intoxicated qualified as a serious felony and strike. The People agree as do we. We shall

reverse and remand this matter for further proceedings. In all other respects, the

judgment is affirmed.

PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

After a jury found defendant guilty of willfully evading a police officer causing

serious bodily injury (Veh. Code, § 2800.3, subd. (a)), a bench trial was held on the

sentence enhancement allegations. To prove the allegations, the prosecution introduced

documentary evidence. With regard to defendant’s prior conviction for gross vehicular

manslaughter while intoxicated (§ 191.5, subd. (a)), the prosecutor submitted various

documents, including a first amended felony complaint, an advisement and waiver of

rights form, several minute orders, an abstract of judgment, and an amended abstract of

judgment. The amended abstract of judgment indicates defendant was convicted by plea

of violating section 191.5, subdivision (a) on September 30, 2004, and was sentenced to

10 years in state prison.

Based on the evidence submitted by the prosecutor, the trial court determined,

without a specific discussion of the basis of its determination, that defendant’s violation

of section 191.5, subdivision (a) constitutes a serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)) and a

strike under the three strikes law. The trial court also determined that defendant had

served a prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)) and was out on bail at the time he

committed the instant offense (§12022.1).

The trial court sentenced defendant to an aggregate term of 19 years in prison,

consisting of: seven years for violating Vehicle Code section 2800.3, subdivision (a),

doubled for the strike; an additional five-year term for the prior serious felony; and an

2

additional two-year term, which was imposed but stayed, for defendant’s commission of

the instant offense while out on bail (§ 12022.1).

Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.

DISCUSSION

I. Insufficiency of the Evidence

Defendant contends, and the People agree, that there was insufficient evidence to

support the trial court’s determination that his prior conviction for gross vehicular

manslaughter while intoxicated constitutes a serious felony and a strike under the three

strikes law. We agree.

Under California’s three strikes law, a defendant’s sentence is enhanced upon

proof that the defendant has been previously convicted of a “strike”—a violent felony as

defined in section 667.5, subdivision (c), or a “serious felony” as defined in section

1192.7, subdivision (c). (§§ 667, subd. (f)(1), 1170.12, subd. (d)(1).) Although a

violation of section 191.5 is not among the crimes listed in those statutory provisions, it

qualifies as a serious felony within the meaning of section 1192.7, subdivision (c) when it

“involve[s] the personal infliction of great bodily injury on any person, other than an

accomplice . . . .”2 (§ 1192.8, subd. (a).) The People had the burden to prove each of the

elements of this definition beyond a reasonable doubt. (See People v. Henley (1999)

72 Cal.App.4th 555, 562 (Henley).)

2 “Similarly, section 1192.7, subdivision (c)(8) defines any felony as a ‘serious felony’

when ‘the defendant personally inflicts great bodily injury on any person, other than an

accomplice . . . .’ This includes gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated if, in the

commission of the crime, the defendant personally inflicts great bodily injury on another

person who is not an accomplice.” (People v. Wilson (2013) 219 Cal.App.4th 500, 509-

510 (Wilson).)

3

We review defendant’s challenge to the trial court’s serious felony and strike

findings in accordance with the usual rules on appeal applicable to claims of insufficient

evidence. (People v. Ochoa (1993) 6 Cal.4th 1199, 1206; People v. Cortez (1999)

73 Cal.App.4th 276, 279.) “ ‘The proper test for determining a claim of insufficiency of

evidence in a criminal case is whether, on the entire record, a rational trier of fact could

find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citations.] On appeal, we must

view the evidence in the light most favorable to the People and must presume in support

of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the

evidence.’ ” (Ochoa, at p. 1206.)

As the People concede, the evidence submitted by the prosecutor with regard to

defendant’s prior conviction was insufficient to establish that defendant personally

inflicted great bodily injury on another person who was not an accomplice. At the time

of defendant’s prior conviction, section 191.5, subdivision (a) defined “[g]ross vehicular

manslaughter while intoxicated” as “the unlawful killing of a human being without

malice aforethought, in the driving of a vehicle, where the driving was in violation of

Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 of the Vehicle Code, and the killing was either the

proximate result of the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, and

with gross negligence, or the proximate result of the commission of a lawful act which

might produce death, in an unlawful manner, and with gross negligence.” (Stats. 2002,

ch. 622, § 1.) The elements of the offense were (1) driving a vehicle while intoxicated;

(2) when so driving, committing some unlawful act, such as a Vehicle Code offense with

gross negligence, or committing with gross negligence an ordinarily lawful act which

might produce death; and (3) as a proximate result of the unlawful act or the negligent

act, another person was killed. (People v. Verlinde (2002) 100 Cal.App.4th 1146, 1159.)

In 2004, defendant pleaded guilty to count one of the charging document, which

alleged that defendant “unlawfully kill[ed] Jerry Walker . . . without malice aforethought,

4

in the driving of a vehicle in violation of Vehicle Code Sections 23140, 23152 and 23153

and the killing was the proximate result of the commission of an unlawful act, not

amounting to a felony, and with gross negligence.” By pleading to this charge, defendant

admitted that another person was killed as a proximate result of his unlawful driving. But

the fact that defendant proximately caused the death of another person does not establish

that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on any person other than an accomplice.

(See § 1192.8, subd. (a).)

“[P]roximate causation and personal infliction are two different elements.”

(Wilson, supra, 219 Cal.App.4th at p. 512.) “ ‘Proximately causing an injury is clearly

different from personally inflicting an injury.’ [Citation.] ‘To “personally inflict” an

injury is to directly cause an injury, not just to proximately cause it.’ ” (People v. Bland

(2002) 28 Cal.4th 313, 337.) “ ‘We think it obvious that an individual can and often does

proximately cause injury without personally inflicting that injury.’ ” (Ibid.; see People v.

Valenzuela (2010) 191 Cal.App.4th 316, 321 (Valenzuela) [“proof a defendant

proximately caused great bodily injury does not constitute proof the defendant personally

inflicted such injury”].)

We conclude the evidence was insufficient to establish that defendant personally

inflicted the injuries that killed the manslaughter victim. The evidence does not disclose

how the victim died. As such, a factual basis does not exist to support the conclusion that

defendant directly caused the injuries that killed the victim. (See Valenzuela, supra,

191 Cal.App.4th at pp. 322-323 [“While the bare facts of his plea establish that [the]

defendant’s reckless driving was a volitional act, . . . we have no facts describing the

cause of the victims’ injuries. It could be that the victims were injured when another

driver swerved to avoid [the] defendant and that driver’s vehicle collided with the

victims. In such a case, the other driver’s volitional act of swerving out of [the]

defendant’s path would be the direct cause of the victims’ injuries, though [the]

5

defendant’s reckless driving would still be the proximate cause.”].) Further, we conclude

the evidence was insufficient to establish that the victim was someone other than an

accomplice in the crime. The charging document does not describe the victim’s status,

and no evidence was submitted showing that the victim was an innocent bystander or

motorist. Therefore, there was no evidence demonstrating that the victim was not an

accomplice. (See Henley, supra, 72 Cal.App.4th at pp. 561-562 [prosecutor failed to

prove injured party was not an accomplice where neither the plea transcript nor the

complaint mentioned the injured party’s status, and the prosecutor did not present any

evidence to prove that the injured party was not an accomplice].)

Absent additional facts regarding the crime, substantial evidence does not support

the trial court’s determination that defendant’s violation of section 191.5, subdivision (a)

was a serious felony within the meaning of section 1192.7, subdivision (c) to qualify as a

strike under the three strikes law. The evidence presented did not establish that defendant

personally inflicted great bodily injury on a person other than an accomplice.

Accordingly, we shall reverse the trial court’s findings that defendant’s 2004 conviction

for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated qualifies as a prior serious felony and

a strike under the three strikes law. We shall vacate defendant’s sentence and remand for

further proceedings.3

II. Proceedings on Remand

The People contend that remand for retrial of the strike and prior serious felony

allegations is appropriate. According to the People, the prosecutor should be given an

opportunity to present additional evidence necessary to support the prior conviction

3 Because we conclude that reversal is warranted for insufficient evidence, we will not

consider defendant’s argument that the trial court’s strike finding violated his Sixth

Amendment rights under the principles recognized by the United States Supreme Court in

Descamps v. United States (2013) 570 U.S. ____ [186 L.Ed.2d 438] (Descamps).

6

allegations. Defendant disagrees, arguing that remand would be unlawful, and that even

if remand were a lawful option, remand for retrial would be “futile” because the Sixth

Amendment precludes a court from finding the facts required to prove the prior

conviction allegations, i.e., from determining whether defendant personally inflicted great

bodily injury on any person other than an accomplice.

Because retrial of a strike allegation after a reversal for insufficient evidence is

permissible (People v. Barragan (2004) 32 Cal.4th 236, 239), we reject defendant’s

contention that remand for retrial is unlawful. We also reject defendant’s contention that

remand for retrial would be futile.

To support his futility argument, defendant relies on the United States Supreme

Court’s decision in Descamps. However, before we consider the impact of Descamps on

the appropriate proceedings to take place on remand, we discuss the California procedure

for proof of a prior conviction. In People v. McGee (2006) 38 Cal.4th 682 (McGee), our

Supreme Court held that the trial court should decide whether a prior conviction

constitutes a strike. (See id. at pp. 698-699, 706 [recognizing that this rule is an

exception to the general rule that any fact that increases the maximum penalty for a crime

must be submitted to a jury and proved beyond a reasonable doubt].)4 The court

4 In so holding, the California Supreme Court rejected the Court of Appeal’s

determination that the federal Constitution—based on the United States Supreme Court

decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey (2000) 530 U.S. 466 [147 L.Ed.2d 435] (Apprendi)—

grants a criminal defendant the right to have a jury examine the record of a prior criminal

proceeding to determine whether an earlier conviction subjects the defendant to an

increased sentence when that conviction does not itself establish on its face whether or

not the conviction constitutes a qualifying prior conviction. (McGee, supra, 38 Cal.4th at

pp. 685-686.) While the court “recognize[d] the possibility that the high court may

extend the scope of the Apprendi decision in the manner suggested by the Court of

Appeal, [it was] reluctant, in the absence of a more definitive ruling on this point by the

United States Supreme Court, to overturn the current California statutory provisions and

judicial precedent that assign to the trial court the role of examining the record of a prior

criminal proceeding to determine whether the ensuing conviction constitutes a qualifying

7

explained the procedure for making this determination as follows: “[T]he nature of the

inquiry . . . is not . . . a determination or finding ‘about the [defendant’s earlier] conduct

itself . . . .’ Instead, it is a determination regarding the nature or basis of the defendant’s

prior conviction—specifically, whether that conviction qualified as a conviction of a

serious felony. . . . [I]n making this determination, the inquiry is a limited one and must

be based upon the record of the prior criminal proceeding, with a focus on the elements

of the offense of which the defendant was convicted. If the enumeration of the elements

of the offense does not resolve the issue, an examination of the record of the earlier

criminal proceeding is required in order to ascertain whether that record reveals whether

the conviction realistically may have been based on conduct that would not constitute a

serious felony under California law. [Citation.] The need for such an inquiry does not

contemplate that the court will make an independent determination regarding a disputed

issue of fact relating to the defendant’s prior conduct [citation], but instead that the court

simply will examine the record of the prior proceeding to determine whether that record

is sufficient to demonstrate that the conviction is of the type that subjects the defendant to

increased punishment under California law. This is an inquiry that is quite different from

the resolution of the issues submitted to a jury, and is one more typically and

appropriately undertaken by a court.” (McGee, supra, 38 Cal.4th at p. 706.)

Following McGee, the United States Supreme Court decided Descamps, supra,

570 U.S. ____ [186 L.Ed.2d 438]. In Descamps, the Supreme Court considered the issue

of whether sentencing courts may examine certain documents to determine whether a

prior conviction under the applicable California sentencing statute.” (McGee, at p. 686.)

The court’s reluctance was based on its determination that “there is a significant

difference between the nature of the inquiry and the factfinding involved in the type of

sentence enhancements at issue in Apprendi and its progeny as compared to the nature of

the inquiry involved in examining the record of a prior conviction to determine whether

that conviction constitutes a qualifying prior conviction for purposes of a recidivist

sentencing statute . . . .” (McGee, at p. 709.)

8

prior conviction for a crime with a single, indivisible set of elements qualifies as a

“violent felony” under the enumerated offenses clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act

(ACCA) (18 U.S.C. § 924(e); Descamps, supra, 570 U.S. at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at

pp. 449-450]). The ACCA “increases the sentences of certain federal defendants who

have three prior convictions ‘for a violent felony,’ including ‘burglary, arson, or

extortion.’ To determine whether a past conviction is for one of those crimes, courts use

what has become known as the ‘categorical approach’: They compare the elements of the

statute forming the basis of the defendant’s conviction with the elements of the ‘generic’

crime—i.e., the offense as commonly understood. The prior conviction qualifies as an

ACCA predicate only if the statute’s elements are the same as, or narrower than, those of

the generic offense.” (Descamps, supra, 570 U.S. at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at p. 449],

italics omitted.)

A “ ‘modified categorical approach’ ” is used “when a prior conviction is for

violating a so-called ‘divisible statute.’ That kind of statute sets out one or more

elements of the offense in the alternative—for example, stating that burglary involves

entry into a building or an automobile. If one alternative (say, a building) matches an

element of the generic offense, but the other (say, an automobile) does not, the modified

categorical approach permits sentencing courts to consult a limited class of documents,

such as indictments and jury instructions, to determine which alternative formed the basis

of the defendant’s prior conviction.” (Descamps, supra, 570 U.S. at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d

at p. 449].)

The issue in Descamps was whether a California burglary prior constituted a

conviction for “generic” burglary and thus qualified as an ACCA predicate offense.

(Descamps, supra, 570 U.S. at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at p. 450].) The district court found

that it did after reviewing the transcript of the plea colloquy in which the defendant had

not objected to the prosecutor’s statement describing certain facts of the crime. The

9

Ninth Circuit affirmed, and held “that when a sentencing court considers a conviction

under . . . [a] statute that is ‘categorically broader than the generic offense,’—the court

may scrutinize certain documents to determine the factual basis of the conviction.” (Id. at

p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at p. 450-451].) The Ninth Circuit approach permitted an

examination of “reliable materials” to determine “ ‘what facts’ ” can “ ‘confident[ly]’ be

thought to underlie the defendant’s conviction in light of the ‘prosecutorial theory of the

case’ and the ‘facts put forward by the government.’ ” (Id. at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at

p. 454].) The Supreme Court reversed, holding that this kind of factfinding was

impermissible because it “turns an elements-based inquiry into an evidence-based one

. . . .” (Id. at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at p. 455].) The court explained that one of the reasons

for its “elements-centric, ‘formal categorical approach’ ” is to “avoid[ ] the Sixth

Amendment concerns that would arise from sentencing courts’ making findings of fact

that properly belong to juries.” (Ibid.) The court concluded that because the finding of a

predicate offense indisputably increases the maximum penalty under the ACCA, serious

Sixth Amendment concerns are implicated by a sentencing “court’s finding of a predicate

offense . . . [that goes] beyond merely identifying a prior conviction. Those concerns . . .

counsel against allowing a sentencing court to ‘make a disputed’ determination ‘about

what the defendant and state judge must have understood as the factual basis of the prior

plea,’ or what the jury in a prior trial must have accepted as the theory of the crime.”

(Descamps, at p. ___ [186 L.Ed.2d at pp. 456-457].)

The Descamps court explained, “Our modified categorical approach merely assists

the sentencing court in identifying the defendant’s crime of conviction, as we have held

the Sixth Amendment permits. But the Ninth Circuit’s reworking authorizes the court to

try to discern what a trial showed, or a plea proceeding revealed, about the defendant’s

underlying conduct. [Citation.] And there’s the constitutional rub. The Sixth

Amendment contemplates that a jury—not a sentencing court—will find such facts,

10

unanimously and beyond a reasonable doubt. And the only facts the court can be sure the

jury so found are those constituting elements of the offense—as distinct from amplifying

but legally extraneous circumstances. [Citation.] Similarly, . . . when a defendant pleads

guilty to a crime, he waives his right to a jury determination of only that offense’s

elements; whatever he says, or fails to say, about superfluous facts cannot license a later

sentencing court to impose extra punishment. [Citation.] So when the District Court here

enhanced Descamps’ sentence, based on his supposed acquiescence to a prosecutorial

statement (that he ‘broke and entered’) irrelevant to the crime charged, the court did just

what we have said it cannot: rely on its own finding about a non-elemental fact to

increase a defendant’s maximum sentence.” (Descamps, supra, 570 U.S. at p. ___

[186 L.Ed.2d at p. 457].)

The California Supreme Court has yet to determine whether the procedure it

described in McGee survives Descamps. However, several California appellate court

decisions have examined the impact of Descamps on the California procedure for proof

of a prior conviction, including People v. Marin (2015) 240 Cal.App.4th 1344 (Marin).

In Marin, the appellate court concluded that “The California procedure for determining

whether prior convictions qualify as strikes, insofar as it is based on judicial factfinding

beyond the elements of the offense, is incompatible with the United States Supreme

Court’s view of the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial as articulated in Descamps. In

short, such judicial factfinding, which looks beyond the elements of the crime to the

record of conviction to determine what conduct ‘realistically’ underlaid the conviction,

violates the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial.”5 (Marin, at p. 1363.) In so

concluding, the appellate court reasoned, “The type of factfinding permitted by McGee is

5 In reaching this conclusion, the Marin court determined that Descamps “constitutes the

extension of Apprendi that McGee envisioned might occur.” (Marin, supra,

240 Cal.App.4th at p. 1356.)

11

virtually indistinguishable from the Ninth Circuit approach that the high court

disapproved in Descamps. The Ninth Circuit approach permitted an examination of

‘reliable materials’ to determine ‘ “what facts” can “confident[ly]” be thought to underlie

the defendant’s conviction in light of the “prosecutorial theory of the case” and the “facts

put forward by the government.” [Citation.]’ [Citation]. Similarly, McGee permits an

examination of the record of conviction to determine ‘whether that record reveals

whether the conviction realistically may have been based on conduct that would not

constitute a serious felony under California law.’ [Citation.] The two approaches—one

based on facts ‘confidently’ believed to underlie the conviction, the other on facts that

‘realistically’ underlie the conviction—are in all relevant respects indistinguishable.”

(Marin, at p. 1362.)

The Marin appellate court continued, “Descamps leaves no true room for debate

that this type of factfinding violates the Sixth Amendment. Though not a holding, the

court’s language is particularly pointed: a court’s factfinding beyond identifying the

elements of the crime ‘would (at the least) raise serious Sixth Amendment concerns’;

‘the Ninth Circuit’s ruling flouts our reasoning’ by ‘extending judicial factfinding

beyond the recognition of a prior conviction’ [citation]; ‘[t]he Sixth Amendment

contemplates that a jury—not a sentencing court— will find such facts . . . ’; ‘when the

District Court here enhanced Descamps’ sentence, based on [judicial factfinding], the

court did just what we have said it cannot . . . : rely on its own finding about a non-

elemental fact to increase a defendant’s maximum sentence’ [citation]. Such language

conveys the unmistakable message that eight members of the high court believe (though

they did not expressly hold in Descamps) that the Sixth Amendment precludes the kind of

factfinding permitted by the Ninth Circuit approach, and hence, by McGee.” (Marin,

supra, 240 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1362-1363.)

12

As explained in Marin, “Beyond the elements of the crime, the scope of judicial

factfinding that is incompatible with the right to a jury trial is variously described in

Descamps as the following: (1) ‘ “a disputed” determination “about what the defendant

and state judge must have understood as the factual basis of the prior plea,” or what the

jury in a prior trial must have accepted as the theory of the crime’ [citations]; (2) a

finding concerning ‘what a trial showed, or a plea proceeding revealed, about the

defendant’s underlying conduct’; (3) a finding about ‘amplifying but legally extraneous

circumstances’; (4) inferences from a plea transcript based on ‘whatever [a defendant]

says, or fails to say, about superfluous facts’ [citation]; and (5) the trial court’s ‘own

finding about a non-elemental fact.’ [Citation]. In its various wordings, the court’s

language conveys that judicial factfinding beyond the elements of the defendant’s prior

conviction—so called ‘superfluous facts’ or ‘non-elemental facts’—is generally

constitutionally impermissible. However, despite such language, the reasoning of

Descamps, supplemented by its favorable treatment of Shepard[ v. United States (2005)

544 U.S. 13 [161 L.Ed.2d 205]], would permit judicial factfinding beyond the elements

of the prior conviction if, in entering a guilty plea, the defendant waived his right to a

jury trial as to such facts and either admitted them or they were found true by the court

with the defendant’s assent. (See [id.] at p. 16 [‘a later court determining the character of

an admitted burglary is generally limited to examining the statutory definition, charging

document, written plea agreement, transcript of plea colloquy, and any explicit factual

finding by the trial judge to which the defendant assented’ (italics added)]; id. at p. 26

[‘[w]e hold that enquiry under the ACCA to determine whether a plea of guilty to

burglary defined by a nongeneric statute necessarily admitted elements of the generic

offense is limited to the terms of the charging document, the terms of a plea agreement or

transcript of colloquy between judge and defendant in which the factual basis for the plea

was confirmed by the defendant, or to some comparable judicial record of this

information’ (italics added)].)” (Marin, supra, 240 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1363-1364.)

13

We agree with the Marin court’s analysis regarding the impact of Descamps on

the California procedure for determining whether a prior conviction qualifies as a strike.

Accordingly, on remand, if the prosecution seeks to prove that defendant personally

inflicted great bodily injury on a person other than an accomplice by resorting to

documents in the record of conviction other than those identified in Descamps and

Shepard, defendant is entitled to a jury trial, unless defendant waived his right to a jury

trial and either admitted such facts or they were found true by the court with defendant’s

assent.6

DISPOSITION

The judgment is reversed as to the trial court’s true findings regarding the prior

serious felony and strike allegations. We vacate defendant’s sentence and remand for

further proceedings. The prosecution may elect to retry the strike allegations by

presenting additional evidence within the record of conviction. If the prosecution opts to

retry the serious felony and strike allegations, defendant is entitled to a jury trial as to

whether in his prior gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated conviction he

personally inflicted great bodily injury on a person other than an accomplice, unless

defendant waived his right to a jury trial and either admitted such facts or they were

found true by the court with defendant’s assent. If the prosecution opts not to retry the

prior serious felony and strike allegations, the trial court shall enter “not true” findings

6 The record reflects that a transcript of the plea colloquy regarding defendant’s 2004

conviction for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated was not submitted to the

trial court. The record also reflects that a written plea agreement providing the factual

basis for this conviction was not submitted to the trial court.

regarding the prior serious felony and strike allegations. In any event, the trial court shall

resentence defendant. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
