P. v. McMiller CA2/1
Around 10:30 a.m. on March 6, 2014, Douglas Wooley walked across 97th Street on the west side of Main Street in Los Angeles. As he crossed, a gold Mercury Grand Marquis crossed Main on 97th and stopped where Wooley had crossed. Two men emerged from the passenger’s side of the Grand Marquis and each fired several shots at Wooley, killing him. Desmond McMiller, Patrick Pearson, and Deshonda Young were arrested and charged with Wooley’s murder and various other crimes—11 counts in all—associated with the murder and the ensuing investigation.
After a joint trial, the jury found the three defendants guilty on all counts. The trial court sentenced Young to 65 years to life, Pearson to 72 years to life, and McMiller to 161 years and four months to life in prison. Each defendant appeals, and each defendant joins in arguments made by each of the other defendants. Finding no error.
