P. v. Lucero CA5
Cheryl Lynn Lucero was convicted of first degree murder with a firearm enhancement. She appeals the trial court’s denial, during the jury selection proceeding, of several of her for-cause challenges to prospective jurors. She also challenges the trial court’s admission of a number of hearsay statements made by the decedent victim. Finally, she raises claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and cumulative error. We reject all her contentions.
In light of Senate Bill No. 620, which took effect on January 1, 2018, after the sentencing in this matter, we will vacate Lucero’s sentence and remand for resentencing under the amendments to applicable firearm enhancement statutes effected by this bill. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
