P. v. Reyes
A jury convicted Defendant of premeditated attempted murder committed to benefit a gang, during which he personally discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury. (Pen. Code, 664, subd. (a), 187, subd. (a), 189; 186.22, subd. (b)(1); 12022.53, subd. (d); all further undesignated references are to the Penal Code.) In a bifurcated hearing after a jury waiver the court found that Reyes had a strike prior felony conviction. ( 667, subds. (b) (i), 1170.12.) The court imposed an aggregate 55 years to life sentence.
Defendant appeals, contending that (I) his conviction violates section 1111 because insufficient evidence corroborated the accomplices testimony that Reyes shot the victim;[1](II) the court erred in admitting one portion of his third post-arrest statement to the police but excluding another portion of that same statement (Evid. Code, 356); and (III) the prosecutor committed misconduct during his argument to the jury.
Court reject these contentions and affirm the judgment.
