P. v. Kim CA4/1
A jury convicted Jonathan Kim of the first degree murder of Wileysha G., with the special circumstance of lying in wait (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 190.2, subd. (a)(15); count 1), and attempted murder of Samantha F. (§§ 664, 187, subd. (a); count 2). The jury found that Kim personally used a deadly or dangerous weapon while committing each offense (§§ 12022, subd. (b)(1), 1192.7, subd. (c)(23)) and that he personally inflicted great bodily injury upon Samantha (§§ 12022.7, subd. (a), 1192.7, subd. (c)(8)). In separate proceedings, Kim admitted one prior serious felony conviction (§667, subd. (a)), which is a strike prior. The court sentenced Kim to prison for 33 years plus life without the possibility of parole, which includes in each count a five-year enhancement for the prior serious felony conviction.
