P. v. O’Hara CA1/1
After threatening Latino residents of his apartment complex, defendant Richard O’Hara set fire to his own apartment. A jury convicted him of one count of arson of an inhabited structure and found true the allegation that he committed the crime because of the victim’s race. On appeal, he claims that the hate-crime enhancement must be reversed due to the individual or cumulative effect of two instructional errors, both involving the required showing of motive for the enhancement. We find no error and affirm.
