P. v. Bey CA2/2
Ravanna Mohamed Bey (appellant) was charged with the murder of Jason Randle (Randle). (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a).) It was alleged that appellant used a firearm in the commission of the crime for purposes of section 12022.53, subdivisions (b), (c), and (d), respectively. The jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree, and it found the firearm allegations to be true. He was sentenced to state prison as follows: 25 years to life, plus an additional 25 years to life under section 12022.53, subdivision (d), for a total prison sentence of 50 years to life.
On appeal, appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to prove he was the perpetrator of the murder; the trial court erred by denying appellant’s motion for mistrial; the trial court erred by admitting text messages found on appellant’s phone; he received ineffective assistance of counsel; and, due to cumulative errors, he was deprived of a fair trial.
We find no error and affirm.
