P. v. Gonzales
A jury convicted defendant Gerald Luis Gonzales of the first degree murder of Gerald Ramirez (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and possession of a firearm by a felon (id., § 12021, subd. (a)(1)). The jury also found true the allegations that Gonzales personally used a firearm (id., § 12022.53, subd. (b)), personally and intentionally discharged a firearm, causing great bodily injury and death (id., § 12022.53, subds. (c) & (d)), committed the crime for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in association with a criminal street gang (id., § 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C)). After the trial court found true the allegations that Gonzales suffered two prior strike convictions (id., §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12), the court sentenced Gonzales to state prison for a total term of 110 years to life.
Gonzales’ sole contention on appeal is that the trial court erred in failing to suppress statements he made to police during an interrogation. We conclude that the trial court did not err in denying Gonzales’ motion to suppress the statements, and affirm.
