P. v. Washington
Appellants were tried jointly before two separate juries. They were convicted of two counts of attempted premeditated murder. (Pen. Code, SS 664, 187.) Washington also was convicted of one count of first degree murder (S 187) and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. (SS 182, 187.) McKeithan was convicted of two additional counts of attempted premeditated murder (SS 664, 187) and one count of carrying a loaded firearm (S 12031, subd. (a)(1)). Firearm and gang enhancement allegations were found true. (SS 186.22, subd. (b), 12022.53, subds. (b) (e).)
Appellants claim the judgment must be reversed because there is insufficient evidence to support the gang enhancements, the trial court erred in failing to give various instructions, the prosecutor made improper remarks while questioning a witness and in his closing statement, and the trial court made various sentencing errors.
Court conclude the trial court erred in sentencing but otherwise affirm the judgments of conviction.
