P. v. Warren CA1/1
A jury convicted defendant Jason Anthony Warren of two counts of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a); counts 1 & 2) and two counts of premeditated attempted murder (§§ 664, 187, subd. (a); counts 3 & 4). As to the first count of first degree murder, the prosecution presented three theories—lying in wait, torture, and premeditation and deliberation. As to the second count, the prosecution presented one theory—premeditation and deliberation. In addition to convicting defendant on both first degree murder counts, the jury found true special circumstances—torture and lying in wait as to the first count, and multiple murder as to both counts. (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(3), (a)(15) & (18).) The trial court sentenced defendant to two consecutive terms of life without the possibility of parole as to counts 1 and 2 and two consecutive terms of life with the possibility of parole as to counts 3 and 4.
