P. v. Murillo CA2/5
A jury acquitted defendant and appellant Manuel Murillo (defendant) of attempted murder and failed to reach a verdict on charges of assault with a firearm and mayhem. The People retried defendant on the latter two charges, and he was found guilty of both offenses. We consider whether Murillo’s convictions must be reversed because the trial court denied his request to select the attorney he retained to represent him during the first trial as his court-appointed attorney for the second trial. We also consider whether there was substantial evidence on which the jury could have appropriately relied to find defendant was the person who shot the victim.
