P. v. Cross
Defendant Matthew Steven Cross appeals from his conviction of carjacking (Pen. Code, 215, subd. (a), (count 1)) and two counts of felony vehicle theft with a prior vehicle theft conviction ( 666.5, subd. (a); Veh. Code, 10851 (counts 2 and 3).) Defendant contends that through both instructional error and error in response to jury inquiries, the trial court misled the jury into convicting him based on an erroneous standard of aider and abettor liability, in violation of his Sixth Amendment right to a jury determination of every element of the charged offense, and his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process. Defendant further contends the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to strike one of defendants strike priors. Court find no error, and Court affirm.
