P. v. Oropeza CA6
Defendant Ofelia Rodriguez Oropeza was convicted by a jury of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211) with a firearm enhancement (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)). She was sentenced to a total term of four years in prison. On appeal, she argues (1) the trial court erred when it instructed the jury to “continue” their deliberations and “fill . . . in” the alternate juror following the juror’s substitution, (2) the trial court erroneously permitted the People to introduce testimonial hearsay evidence from a gang expert, and (3) the trial court committed instructional error when it failed to instruct the jury that her duress defense negated her guilt under a conspiracy theory of liability. We reject defendant’s claims and affirm the judgment.
