P. v. Woods CA4/2
In 2015, a jury convicted defendant Alfred Woods of first degree murder and personal use of a firearm, offenses he committed in 1991. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a); 1203.06, subd. (a)(1); and 12022.5.) The trial court sentenced defendant to a 25-year-to-life indeterminate term for murder and a consecutive five-year determinate term for the firearm enhancement. On appeal, defendant makes one claim, that the court erred when it denied his Batson/Wheeler motion. We have reviewed defendant’s contentions in light of the recent California Supreme Court case of People v. Gutierrez (2017) 2 Cal.5th 1150 (Gutierrez). We hold the trial court did not abuse its discretion and affirm the judgment.
