P. v. McCloud
Ricky Jay McCloud, Jr., was sentenced to a prison term of 32 years and four months to life following trial on charges that took two juries to fully resolve. A first jury found him guilty of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211, subd. (a); count 1) and assault with a firearm (id., § 245, subd. (a)(2); count 2), but could not reach a verdict on enhancements of intentional discharge of a firearm and intentional discharge causing great bodily injury (id., § 12022.53, subds. (c) & (d)). A second jury found the enhancements true.
McCloud raises no issue as to the substantive counts but seeks reversal of the enhancement (carrying an indeterminate term of 25 years to life) for claimed evidentiary error in admitting parts of a post-arrest interview without admitting other parts of it under Evidence Code section 356.[1] We reject his claim and affirm the judgment.
