P. v. Stojsich CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Jeffrey Jovon Stojsich killed a “snitch” and was convicted of murder. He appeals, contending that because the victim was someone whose snitching helped put Stojsich’s brother in prison, the killing was personally motivated, and thus he lacked the specific intent necessary for a gang enhancement under Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision (b). Stojsich also requests that we review the materials the trial court considered in camera pursuant to Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess), wherein Stojsich sought discoverable personnel records of a peace officer who testified as a street gang expert at trial. The trial court did not disclose any records as a result of the Pitchess motion.
