P. v. Rosas
Abel Rosas[1] was convicted by a jury on two counts of attempted willful, deliberate and premeditated murder with true findings on the special allegations the crimes had been committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang and a principal had used and discharged a firearm in committing the offenses proximately causing great bodily injury. On appeal Rosas argues his constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel was violated by his lawyer’s failure to move to suppress as involuntary his admissions to police officers following his arrest, to properly investigate the case and to present at trial evidence favorable to the defense. He also contends the trial court erred in denying a motion for new trial based on newly discovered evidence and an error in the verdict forms requires a retrial. We affirm.
