Register story, &#8220;Gray pleaded guilty to robbery Sept. 12, 2023, according to court records. He was sentenced to two years in prison for the Oct. 4, 2022, robbery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why did a recidivist with an already lengthy record get only two years for robbery? That is the low-end sentence for second-degree robbery, which can draw a sentence of two, three, or five years. (Cal. PC \u00a7 213.) The federal complaint also says he &#8220;had served multiple prison sentences,&#8221; so enhancements should have been available. It would appear that he got a very favorable plea bargain.<\/p>\n<p>But even with a two-year sentence, why was he out in eight months? No doubt he had some credit for pre-sentence time in county jail, but not enough for a release that early. A California statute limits violent felons (including robbers) to 15% credits for good behavior, but CDCR claims the power to grant more under Proposition 57. It appears likely that the excess credits are a &#8220;but for&#8221; cause of this crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 7, convicted robber Eric Gray was released from San Quentin.
