P. v. Park CA5
Appellant/defendant David Park was convicted of four counts of assault with a firearm on a peace officer (Pen. Code , § 245, subd. (d)(1)), with firearm enhancements (§ 12022.53, subd. (c), § 12022.5, subd. (a)); and one count of drawing or exhibiting a semiautomatic rifle with the intent to resist or prevent arrest by a peace officer (§ 417.8). He was sentenced to an aggregate term of 32 years eight months in prison.Defendant was originally charged with nine counts of assault with a firearm on a peace officer; each count specified a particular officer as the victim. As we will explain, the court dismissed one count before the case went to the jury. The jury found defendant guilty of four counts based on the two deputies who initially responded to defendant’s trailer to conduct a welfare check and were fired upon; and two members of the SWAT team, who testified that shots were fired directly at their positions.
