P. v. Sams CA5
On July 4, 2014, defendant fatally shot Raymond Fisher outside Fisher’s former father-in-law’s residence. At the time, defendant was in a dating relationship with Fisher’s ex-wife. (Sams, supra, F074751.)
On October 21, 2016, a jury found defendant guilty of second degree murder (§ 187, subd. (a)) and found true the allegation that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm in the commission of the offense (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)).
On November 22, 2016, the trial court sentenced defendant to a term of 15 years to life for second degree murder, with a consecutive term of 25 years to life for the firearm enhancement, for an aggregate sentence of 40 years to life.
Defendant appealed and, on June 26, 2019, this court issued its opinion in defendant’s direct appeal. (Sams, supra, F074751.)
