P. v. Wilson
Defendant and appellant Brandon Wilson (defendant) and another African-American man approached a group of people who had gathered in the street outside a party. Defendant was asked to leave but refused, and instead engaged in a physical altercation with some of the women in the group. When the male victim attempted to intervene on the womens behalf, defendant shot him four times and then fled the scene, firing at least two more times at the partygoers pursing him. Court hold that defendant has forfeited the identification issue by failing to object to the identification evidence at trial, that defendants ineffective assistance of counsel claim is not cognizable on appeal, and that the trial court did not err in imposing the upper term sentences on Counts 1 and 3. Court therefore affirm the judgment.
