P. v. Valladares CA4/3
A jury convicted Leobardo Valladares of premediated and deliberate first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a); all statutory citations are to the Penal Code), and found he personally discharged a firearm causing death (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). Valladares challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his first degree murder conviction. He also contends the trial court erred by instructing the jury with CALCRIM Nos. 3472 and 3474, erred by failing to provide a unanimity instruction, erred by refusing to allow the jury to test fire the firearm, and the cumulative effect of the errors rendered his trial unfair. We conclude these contentions lack merit and therefore affirm the judgment.
