P. v. Johnson CA5
A jury convicted appellant Michael Murry Johnson of first degree murder for the shooting death of Leonard Greenberry (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a); count 1). Appellant was also convicted of attempting to murder Earl Perry stemming from the same incident. In both crimes, the jury found true firearm enhancements. The trial court found true that appellant had suffered a prior strike conviction. Appellant received a prison sentence of 114 years to life.
Appellant raises four different issues on appeal. He alleges (1) the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions; (2) the trial court abused its discretion in denying a motion for new trial; (3) the trial court twice erred in permitting the admission of certain testimony; and (4) prosecutorial misconduct occurred during closing arguments.
