P. v. DeLeon CA1/5
Alejandro Arturo DeLeon appeals after a jury convicted him of second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and possessing a firearm as a felon (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1)), and it also found “true” an enhancement allegation that DeLeon personally and intentionally discharged a firearm causing death (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). The trial court sentenced him to an indeterminate prison term of 42 years to life.
DeLeon asserts: (1) the prosecutor’s peremptory challenge of an African-American prospective juror violated Batson v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 79 (Batson) and People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258 (Wheeler); (2) the trial court erroneously admitted experimental evidence; and (3) the trial court abused its discretion by declining to strike the firearm enhancement. We affirm.
