P. v. Brown
Appellant James Ray Brown was convicted after jury trial of discharging a firearm at an occupied motor vehicle (count 1) and of assault with a firearm (count 2). (Pen. Code, 246; 245, subd. (a)(2).) Street gang enhancements that were attached to both counts and a personal firearm use allegation that was attached to count 2 were found true. ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1); 12022.5, subd. (a)(1).) He was sentenced to 15 years to life imprisonment for count 1; the sentence imposed for count 2 was stayed pursuant to section 654.
Appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence proving that the offenses were committed with the specific intent to promote, further or assist in criminal conduct by gang members. He also contends that he was denied the right to a unanimous jury verdict on count 2. Neither argument is persuasive; Court affirm.
