P. v. Byrd CA1/3
This is the joint appeal from judgment filed by defendants Kenneth Ray Byrd and Joseph Gregory Ellis following their convictions by separate juries for first degree felony murder and second degree robbery. In addition, Ellis’s jury found him guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and found true the felony-murder special circumstance allegation. Byrd was then sentenced to 25 years-to-life in prison, while Ellis was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Defendants challenge their convictions on many grounds, including, among others, insufficiency of evidence, erroneous admission of evidence, various due process violations, misinstruction of the jury and judicial and prosecutorial misconduct. We affirm.
