P. v. Orozco CA2/1
On August 20, 2015, Jose Francisco Orozco stole a car and was caught by police less than a mile away. About a week later, while released on bail, he carjacked the vehicle of a defense attorney in the underground parking structure of the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles. That evening, he attempted to carjack another car but was thwarted after beating the driver.
After proceedings to determine whether Orozco was competent to stand trial, and several delays due to his serial illnesses and refusal to attend trial, a jury convicted him of felony car theft (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)), carjacking and attempted carjacking (Pen. Code, §§ 664/215, subd. (a)), and two counts of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211).
