P. v. Orona
A jury convicted defendant Anthony Salinas Orona of possession of a firearm by a felon, carrying a loaded firearm while a gang member, and street terrorism. It further found defendant had committed the firearm offenses for the benefit and direction of a criminal street gang. The trial court sentenced defendant to 15 years, 4 months in prison. Defendant appeals, contending his trial counsel was ineffective for not objecting to the gang experts testimony that gang members had identified defendant as their shot caller and that Penal Code section 654 (all further statutory references are to this code) precludes punishment for both possession of a firearm and street terrorism. Court disagree and affirm.
