P. v. Odom CA1/1
Keith Osby was beaten, bound, and shot in the head because defendant Tina Odom and her mother believed he stole a PlayStation and laptop from their home. Defendant claims no substantial evidence supports her conviction of first degree murder and torture. She also asserts the trial court erred in its instructions regarding the kidnapping and torture special circumstances, and that no substantial evidence supports the jury’s findings on those special circumstances. Lastly, she maintains her sentence of life without the possibility of parole violated her Eighth Amendment rights because she was 18 years old at the time the crime was committed.
