P. v. Enriquez CA2/8
Defendant and appellant Jose Enriquez broke into his neighbor’s house when only a 15-year-old girl, L.R., and her pregnant older sister, A.R., were home, threatened them both, demanded property from A.R., and escaped with a few items from another room. He was convicted of two counts of burglary (one for each victim) and the attempted robbery of A.R. As to all three counts, an allegation that he personally used a deadly or dangerous weapon – a knife – in the commission of the offenses was found to be true. On appeal, defendant challenges only the sufficiency of the evidence of the knife enhancement with respect to the counts pertaining to A.R. We conclude the evidence is sufficient. However, we modify the judgment to correct a sentencing error.
