My colleagues at CNS are reporting that a state appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld a Monrovia man's conviction on 33 charges stemming from a September 2008 crime spree that was centered primarily in the San Gabriel Valley but included local cities, such as Long Beach.
The three-justice panel from the 2nd District Court of Appeal also ordered the case against Anthony Brandon Hislar -- who had three prior convictions -- to be sent back to Pomona Superior Court so that additional time can be added against him under the state's "three strikes" law.
Hislar was sentenced in April 2009 to 429 years to life in prison, plus 83 years.
He was convicted in March of that year of robbery, burglary, carjacking, evading police and being a felon in possession of a firearm, stemming from a series of crimes in such cities as Azusa, Arcadia, El Monte, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles and Monrovia.
Hislar -- whose priors include two convictions for residential burglary in Santa Barbara County and a federal bank robbery conviction -- was arrested in September 2008 as he was leaving Disneyland.
