P. v. Blade CA2/4
A jury convicted defendants Boston Blade of second-degree murder and Marquis Wilson of first-degree murder, stemming from the shooting of a rival gang member. The jury also convicted both defendants of committing an armed robbery of a liquor store two days later. On appeal, both defendants challenge the sufficiency of the evidence supporting their murder convictions. We find sufficient evidence to support Marquis’s conviction for first-degree murder. On the other hand, we conclude there was insufficient evidence to sustain the verdict on the murder count as to Boston. We therefore reverse Boston’s murder conviction.
