P. v. Harris CA5
In the early morning of August 12, 2008, defendant Nicholas John Harris stabbed victim Mark Henson multiple times while Henson sat in his car. After Henson, who would die from his wounds shortly thereafter, fled down the street on foot, defendant threw gasoline on the car and lit it on fire.
Almost six years later, a jury convicted defendant of second degree murder and arson, and found he used a deadly or dangerous weapon during the commission of the murder. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 451, subd. (d), 12022, subd. (b).) Following the second phase of trial, the jury found defendant not insane when he committed the crimes.
