P. v. Carter CA2/1
Appellants and defendants Eric Tyrone Carter, Rasheen Childs, and Bryant S. Moore committed a string of armed robberies of stores and restaurants in December 2013 and January 2014. Childs was involved in all of the robberies, and in most cases, he was the one who drew a handgun and demanded money from the cashier. Moore aided Childs in several robberies between December 11 and December 25, including one on December 22 in which Childs shot and killed a store clerk who attempted to flee. Thereafter Carter, not Moore, aided Childs in several additional robberies between December 27 and January 2. The defendants challenge several aspects of their convictions.
We reverse Moore’s sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (LWOP) because there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s finding of a special circumstance with respect to Moore’s involvement in the murder of Garcia.
