P. v. Jeronimo CA5
In an amended information filed September 27, 2016, the Tulare County District Attorney charged defendant with murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)), committed during a kidnapping (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(17)), and while lying in wait (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(15)). The information further alleged defendant personally used a firearm causing great bodily injury and death to the victim. (§ 12022.53, subd. (d).)
Defendant was jointly tried alongside codefendants Angelita Reyes and Arturo Hernandez Pompa (Arturo). The jury convicted defendant of murder and found the various allegations of the information to be true. The court sentenced defendant to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus a consecutive term of 25 years to life for the firearm enhancement. (§ 12022.53, subd. (d).)
Defendant makes several claims of prejudicial error. We remand for resentencing on a conceded issue, but otherwise affirm the judgment.
