P. v. Dixon CA5
Appellant Joseph Leroy Dixon was charged with murder and associated enhancements for the shooting death of Shannon Case. On April 15, 2014, appellant was convicted of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and special allegations of premeditation and deliberations and personal use of a firearm were found true. A separate court trial was held and a prior serious felony allegation was found true. Appellant was sentenced to an aggregate term of 75 years to life in state prison.
Appellant presents a single claim on appeal. He asserts that he was denied his right to a unanimous jury verdict as the trial court failed to instruct the jury to start deliberations over after a juror was discharged and an alternate juror was seated. Upon review, we affirm.
