P. v. Lopez CA2/7
A jury convicted Arturo Lopez of second degree murder, conspiracy to destroy evidence, offering false evidence and three counts of possession of a firearm by a felon. On appeal Lopez principally argues his murder conviction must be reversed because the trial court improperly instructed the jury he could be convicted on a theory of felony murder and the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for offering false evidence. We agree with Lopez, reverse his convictions for murder and offering false evidence, affirm the convictions for the other four offenses, which Lopez does not challenge on appeal, and remand for further proceedings.
