P. v. Castaneda-Longoria CA1/1
While using his pickup truck to “spin doughnuts” in a residential neighborhood of Antioch, defendant Fredy Castaneda-Longoria hit Timothy Hudson, dragged him about 50 feet, and ran over him while fleeing the scene. Hudson died from his injuries. A jury convicted Castaneda-Longoria of felony counts of gross vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run driving resulting in death and found true the allegations that he fled the scene of the first crime and caused great bodily injury during the second crime. The trial court sentenced him to 11 years in prison.
On appeal, Castaneda-Longoria makes numerous claims of evidentiary, instructional, and sentencing error, including cumulative error. We conclude that an order of victim restitution to Hudson’s parents must be reversed for lack of evidence. Otherwise, we affirm the judgment.
