P. v. Casillas CA6
A jury convicted defendant Marcus Casillas of first degree murder and found that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm causing death . The trial court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate term of 50 years to life: 25 years to life for the murder, consecutive to 25 years to life for the section 12022.53, subdivision (d) allegation.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred by finding the prosecution did not commit any discovery violations and by denying his requests for various sanctions for the claimed discovery violations. Defendant also contends the trial court erred by precluding him from introducing evidence of third party culpability. For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the judgment but order a limited remand.
