RSI Holding Corp. v. Petrous

RSI Holding Corp. v. Petrous
07:06:2007

After a jury found defendant Juan Rodriguez Soria guilty of two counts of first degree murder, the court sentenced him to two consecutive indeterminate terms of 25 years to life. His appeal raises two issues: the court erred in instructing the jury with CALCRIM No. 640 rather than CALJIC No. 8.71, and the consecutive sentences violated his rights to a jury trial under Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 [124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403] (Blakely). Because of the nature of the appeal we need not summarize the facts upon which the conviction was based other than to note that defendant was the driver of a car from which a passenger fired a rifle killing two persons.





Description Defendants appeal from an order denying their motion to strike the complaint of plaintiffs RSI Holding Corporation and RSI Home Products, Inc. under Code of Civil Procedure section 426.16 (anti-SLAPP motion; all further statutory references are to this code). They contend the court erred when it concluded the challenged statements did not involve a public issue. Court disagree and affirm.
