P. v. Covin CA4/2
On June 1, 2015, 22-year-old defendant and appellant Frank Joseph Covin was staying with his father, Prospare Landry, and his father’s girlfriend, Laurel Roberts, in a house located in an unincorporated area of Barstow. Sometime the prior evening, defendant shot both Roberts and Landry in the back of their heads and left them to die in the pools of their blood while he watched television. When police arrived he hid and a standoff ensued until he voluntarily exited the home several hours later. Defendant was convicted of two counts of first degree murder, the special circumstance of multiple murder and two firearm enhancements.
