P. v. Castiblanco CA2/5
A jury convicted defendants and appellants Michael Castiblanco and Juan Cortez of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and second degree robbery (§ 211). The jury found true the special circumstance allegation that the murder was committed while the defendants were engaged in the commission of a robbery (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(A)) and the allegation that a principal was armed with a firearm during the commission of the offenses (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)). The trial court sentenced defendants to terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole for their murder convictions plus one year for the firearm enhancements. Sentences on the robbery convictions were stayed under section 654.
