P. v. Flores CA2/6
Jose Carlos Flores fatally stabbed Pedro Gaspar outside an Oxnard cantina. The jury convicted him of involuntary manslaughter. (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (b).) It acquitted him of second degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. The jury found true an allegation that Flores personally used a knife. (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1).) The trial court sentenced Flores to four years in state prison, deemed the sentence served, and released him.
Flores contends that the trial court should have granted his motion for acquittal of murder (§ 187, subd. (a)) at the close of the prosecution’s evidence. He also contends that there is insufficient evidence to support the conviction because he acted in self-defense. We affirm.
