P. v. Gant
Darius Gant appeals from the judgment following his conviction for willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187/664, subd. (a)), and possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5). The jury found that he personally used a firearm causing great bodily injury in the attempted murder (Pen. Code, § 12022.53, subd. (d)), that the attempted murder was gang related (Pen. Code, § 186.22, subd. (b)), and that Gant had a prior drug conviction (Health & Saf. Code, § 11352). Gant was sentenced to life in prison with a 15-year minimum parole eligibility date for the attempted murder plus 25 years to life for the firearm enhancement. He received an eight-year concurrent sentence for the drug offense.
Gant contends that there was insufficient evidence to support the attempted murder conviction, the trial court erred in denying a mistrial after the victim suffered a seizure during his trial testimony, and that he was denied trial by a fair and impartial jury due to juror incompetence and misconduct. We affirm.
