P. v. Atkins CA2/5
Based primarily on evidence provided by law enforcement witnesses, a jury convicted defendant and appellant Deshon Atkins of the willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murders of Mark Beasley (count 4) and Dashon Wright (count 5) and found gang and gun enhancements to be true. Defendant appeals, contending insufficient evidence supports his conviction for the attempted murder of Beasley and the gang enhancements; the prosecutor committed misconduct in closing argument, and defense counsel failed to object; and the trial court erred in failing to award him presentence conduct credit. The Attorney General concedes the latter point.
