P. v. Carrera CA4/3
Lucero Carrera was charged with first degree murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189; count 1; all further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise stated) and assault causing the death of a child (§ 273ab, subd.(a); count 2) in connection with the death of her two-month-old daughter, Kimberly.
Carrera entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. A jury found Carrera guilty of both charges and legally sane during the commission of the crimes. The court imposed indeterminate terms of 25 years to life on both counts, but stayed sentence on count 2 under section 654.
