P. v. Salazar CA2/3
Appellant Ronny Salazar appeals from the judgment entered after a jury convicted him on one count of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187; count 1) and two counts of attempted willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder (§§ 664, 187; counts 2 & 3) with, as to each offense, personal and intentional discharge of a firearm causing death or great bodily injury
(§ 12022.53, subd. (d)) and a finding he committed the offense for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(4)).
Salazar claims the trial court prejudicially erred by admitting at trial (1) evidence referencing the Mexican Mafia; (2) Salazar’s recorded jailhouse conversation with another inmate in which he made self-incriminating statements; and (3) an out-of-court statement that a gang member told the police Salazar had confessed to being the shooter.
