The Court of Appeal remanded for resentencing in light of legislative changes to Penal Code section 518 made by Senate Bill No. 654 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.), which now affords trial courts the discretion to choose the count on which to impose punishment, instead of having to choose the one that provided for the longest potential term of imprisonment. On remand, appellant shall receive a full resentencing.
