P. v. King CA2/4
By information, defendant and appellant Kurtis Tyron King was charged with first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) in connection with the killing of John Bannon. The information also alleged that defendant personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife, during the commission of the murder (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)). In December 2019, defendant was convicted as charged and sentenced to 25 years to life for murder, plus a consecutive one-year term for the weapon use enhancement.
On direct appeal from his judgment of conviction, defendant contends the appellate record is inadequate to permit meaningful review. He also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his conviction for first degree murder, and contends the court committed three errors when instructing the jury. Finally, he requests that we correct his abstract of judgment as to fines, fees, and assessments.
