P. v. Carlson CA2/7
A jury convicted Guy Carlson of attempted willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187, subd. (a)) and possession of a firearm by a felon (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1)). The People also proved Carlson had a prior conviction for a serious felony under sections 667, subdivision (a), and 1170.12. Carlson argues that the trial court erroneously excluded certain exculpatory hearsay evidence and that substantial evidence does not support the jury’s findings Carlson acted deliberately and with premeditation. With regard to his sentence, Carlson argues that the People failed to adequately allege he suffered a conviction for a serious felony and that the trial court mistakenly believed section 667, subdivision (c)(6), mandated a consecutive sentence on the conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon.
