P. v. Anguiano CA5
Jose Anguiano and Armando Gonzalez were jointly tried and convicted on charges of murder and attempted murder. Gonzalez was also convicted of discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling. On appeal, both defendants challenge the prosecution’s evidence of their membership in a criminal street gang. There are additional issues concerning the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the attempted murder convictions, and a claim by Gonzalez regarding his right to self-representation under Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 (Faretta). Notwithstanding a technical error that requires vacating one of two multiple-murder special circumstance findings against Gonzalez, there are no grounds for reversal. We vacate the redundant special circumstance finding and otherwise affirm the judgments.
