P. v. Cortez CA2/8
Defendant Norma Lilian Cortez was convicted by jury of premeditated murder and premeditated attempted murder, and gang and firearm enhancements were found to be true. Following remand of this case from the California Supreme Court and our court, defendant appealed the denial of her new trial motion. Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), defendant’s counsel filed an opening brief requesting this court review the record and determine whether any arguable issues existed on appeal. We reviewed the entire record and affirmed the order below. (People v. Cortez (B280911, Nov. 6, 2017) [nonpub. opn.].)
After we issued our opinion, defendant filed a petition for rehearing, asking this court to reconsider the appeal in light of Senate Bill No. 620 (2017-2018 Reg. Sess.).
