P. v. Chandler CA4/3
Shawn Junior Chandler appeals from a judgment after the jury convicted him of deliberate and premeditated attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon and found true weapon and great bodily injury enhancements. Chandler argues the following: the trial court erred by not granting the jury’s request to readback of closing argument from Chandler, who represented himself; insufficient evidence supported the jury’s finding of deliberation and premeditation; the court erred when it instructed the jury with CALCRIM Nos. 603 and 372; and the abstract of judgment has an error that must be corrected.
After oral argument, the parties filed supplemental briefs on the effect of the following: Senate Bill No. 1393 (S.B. 1393), effective January 1, 2019, which in relevant part amended Penal Code sections 667, subdivision (a), and 1385, subdivision (b); and Assembly Bill No. 1810, effective June 27, 2018, which in relevant part enacted Penal Code section 1001.36.
