P. v. Jones
Jeremy Jones and Alonzo Perkins were convicted of one count each of murder, attempted murder, robbery and felon in possession of a firearm with certain personal use allegations found true. In Joness appeal, he claimed errors in the trial courts denial of his motions for self-representation, exclusion of evidence and sentencing, citing Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 (Blakely). Perkinss appeal challenged the trial courts denial of his motion to suppress the surviving victims identification of him as well as the courts evidentiary and sentencing decisions. In 2005, Court affirmed as to both Jones and Perkins.
Our Supreme Court denied Joness petition for review, but the United States Supreme Court granted his petition for writ of certiorari, vacated our opinion and remanded the matter back to us for reconsideration in light of Cunningham v. California (2007) 549 U.S. __ [127 S.Ct. 856] (Cunningham). Perkins apparently did not seek further review. Upon reconsideration of the Blakely issue as to Jones following Cunningham, Court nevertheless affirm.
