P. v. Easley CA4/1
A jury found defendant Kenneth Jerai Easley guilty of second degree murder (Pen. Code, §187, subd. (a)) for shooting and killing Ayo Hullett in October 2019. It also found true three firearm enhancements: personal use of a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)); personal discharge of a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (c)); and discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). At sentencing, the court considered its discretion to dismiss or strike the enhancements under section 1385, and it declined, sentencing Easley to an indeterminate term of 15 years to life for the murder, plus a consecutive sentence of 25 years to life for the most serious firearm enhancement, for a total indeterminate sentence of 40 years to life.
Easley’s attorney asked the court to impose minimum fines and fees.
