P. v. Anchondo CA2/1
Gilbert Henry Anchondo (Anchondo) shot and killed two men in a parking lot behind an apartment building, hours after arguing with one of the victims. The next day, police officers observed Anchondo driving an SUV that belonged to one of the victims. Anchondo sped away from the officers and crashed into a school bus and other vehicles, causing the SUV to catch fire. Investigators found a charred gun grip in the burned vehicle. Cell site location data and eyewitness accounts also connected Anchondo to the murders. Anchondo now appeals from his first degree murder convictions as well as his conviction for evading a peace officer, causing serious bodily injury. Anchondo contends that the trial court erred in admitting testimony from a medical examiner not present at the victims’ autopsies. He also contends that reversal is warranted because the jury was administered the wrong oath of service.
