P. v. Pollard CA3
Defendant William Torrie Delano Pollard shot a woman in the face and hand as her boyfriend drove her and three young children to school. A jury found defendant guilty of five counts of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and found true multiple enhancements. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred by denying his Batson/Wheeler motion and by declining to instruct the jury on a theory of self-defense. Defendant also argues that he is entitled to resentencing under Assembly Bill No. 124 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) (Assembly Bill 124). We will remand the matter for resentencing in accordance with the new legislation, but affirm the judgment in all other respects.
