P. v. Flores CA4/1
A jury convicted Jose Manuel Flores of kidnapping (Penal Code, § 207, subd. (a)) and found true enhancements that he discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury and committed a crime for the benefit of, in association with, or at the direction of a criminal street gang. (§§ 12022.53, subds. (d) & (e), § 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(c).) It also convicted him of criminal street gang activity (§ 186.22, subd. (a)) and misdemeanor giving false information to a peace officer. (§ 148.9 (a).) The court declared a mistrial on the attempted murder count (§§ 187, subd. (a), 664) because the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, and the court subsequently granted a motion to dismiss the count in the interest of justice.
