P. v. Guardado CA4/3
Defendants Aaron Guardado and Mauricio Gonzalez attacked two people with a screwdriver while stating the name of their gang. A jury convicted defendants of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon (with associated gang allegations), a substantive gang offense, and gang-related simple assault and battery charges.
Defendants appeal on several grounds. Both defendants argue that the evidence was insufficient to sustain their convictions. Gonzalez argues that the trial court abused its discretion by failing to bifurcate the gang evidence. Guardado also argues that the court abused its discretion by not dismissing his prior strike conviction. We disagree.
