P. v. Millbrook CA1/5
In December 2009, when he was 18 years old, defendant Jeremy Millbrook fired one shot at Sione Manoa while the two were arguing at a party. In addition to seriously injuring Manoa, the bullet struck the hand of Matthew Galvan, a friend of Manoa’s who was trying to defuse the argument. In a prior trial, a jury convicted Millbrook of attempted murder of Manoa, assault with a firearm on Manoa, and assault with a firearm on Galvan and found true several enhancement allegations involving firearms and great bodily injury (GBI). This court reversed the conviction for attempted murder, finding prejudicial error in the trial court’s failure to instruct on attempted voluntary manslaughter based on a sudden quarrel or heat of passion.
