P. v. Gallegos
In 1991, gang member Rodolfo Gallegos (then 16) shot at five people, killing one of them. After admitting the shooting to others, he fled to Mexico but was apprehended and tried nearly 20 years later.
A jury convicted Gallegos of one count of first degree murder and four counts of attempted premeditated murder and found true related gang and firearm allegations. The trial court sentenced Gallegos to state prison for a term of 85 years to life on the murder and four attempted murder counts plus another 5 years for the firearm enhancement.
Gallegos appeals, claiming insufficiency of the evidence as well as various evidentiary errors and sentencing error. We affirm the convictions but remand for resentencing.
