P. v. Ramirez CA2/7
Applying the natural and probable consequences doctrine, a jury convicted Robert Antonio Ramirez of two counts of attempted willful, deliberate and premeditated murder, two counts of assault with a firearm and one count of shooting at an inhabited dwelling and found true criminal street gang and firearm-use enhancement allegations. We affirmed those convictions on two prior occasions (in 2017 and 2019) based on the law as it existed at the time of our decisions.
Directed by the Supreme Court earlier this year to reconsider Ramirez’s case in light of recent ameliorative legislation, we now reverse the convictions for attempted murder, as well as the criminal street gang enhancements imposed on all counts.
