P. v. Gordon CA2/8
In 2017, a jury convicted appellants Clive Gordon and Carlos Acosta of carjacking (count 1), robbery (count 2), and two attempted robberies (counts 3 & 4) involving three victims who were admiring a new car belonging one of the victims. Appellants, accompanied by Cesar S., used guns to obtain cash from the car’s owner. When the car spontaneously started up, Cesar S. got in and drove away in the vehicle, with at least one of appellants in the passenger seat. Appellants are gang members and the crimes were committed in territory claimed by a rival gang.
The jury found true allegations that the offenses were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang. (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C).
