P. v. Willams
A jury found defendant and appellant Emmanuel Donteze Williams guilty of (1) nine counts of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211);[1] (2) one count of attempted robbery (§§ 664, 211); (3) one count of kidnapping for the purpose of committing robbery (§ 209, subd. (b)(1)); and (4) one count of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). For eight of the robbery counts, the attempted robbery count, and the kidnapping count, the jury found true the enhancement allegation that defendant used a firearm during the commission of the crimes pursuant to section 12022.53, subdivision (b). As to the assault count, the jury found true the enhancement allegation that defendant personally used a firearm during the commission of the offense pursuant to section 12022.5, subdivision (a). The trial court sentenced defendant to prison for a determinate term of 58 years, 2 months, and an indeterminate term of life with the possibility of parole.
Defendant raises four issues on appeal. First, defendant asserts the evidence supporting his assault conviction does not meet the substantial evidence standard. Second, defendant contends the evidence supporting his kidnapping conviction does not meet the substantial evidence standard. Third, defendant asserts the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence and traverse the search warrant. Fourth, defendant contends his trial attorney rendered ineffective assistance during the hearing on the motion to suppress evidence. We affirm the judgment.
