THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. CHARLES KENNETH WAXLAX, Defendant and Appellant.
[Modification of opinion (72 Cal.App.5th 579; ___ Cal.Rptr.3d ___), upon denial of rehearing.]
THE COURT.—The petition for rehearing is denied. The opinion filed in this matter on December 9, 2021, is modified as follows:
In the first sentence of the last paragraph on page 13 [72 Cal.App.5th 590, advance report, first full par., line 3], add the words "base term" before the word "punishment" so that the sentence reads as follows:
On balance, given the history of section 245, the legislative history of the 2011 amendment, and the fact that force-likely and deadly weapon assault carry the same base term punishment, we conclude they are different statements of the same offense when they are based on the same criminal act.
Except for this modification, the opinion remains unchanged. The modification does not affect a change in the judgment.
