P. v. Santana CA2/6
Angel Santana appeals after a jury convicted him of two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Santana contends that the trial court: (1) erred by failing to give a curative instruction after the prosecutor misstated the law regarding provocation; (2) erred in admitting Facebook messages regarding a firearm transaction; (3) should have imposed a minimum parole eligibility term (Pen. Code, § 186.22, subd. (b)(5)) instead of a 10-year gang enhancement (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C)) on the murder counts; and (4) should have stricken the prior prison term enhancements (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). We modify the judgment to correct sentencing errors, but otherwise affirm.
