P. v. Molina CA1/2
In the early morning of Sunday, October 4, 2009, three men, Kedric Green, Michael Bailey and Kevin Harrell, all in their 20’s, agreed to drive two women home from a San Francisco nightclub upon learning that one of them, Ariael Kittles, had lost her car keys. The driver, Green, was visiting the Bay Area from Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his friend, Bailey, and they were staying with Bailey’s cousin, Harrell. At the end of the drive, the three would be assaulted and robbed by a group of strangers, and Bailey would be fatally shot.
Four defendants—appellants William Jones and Lance Molina (defendants), and two other defendants who are not parties to this appeal, Maurice Lige and Kittles—were arrested and charged in December 2009 with crimes related to this incident. After a 2014 trial, Jones and Molina were convicted of all the counts against them that were presented to the jury and some, but not all, of the accompanying enhancement allegations were found to be true.
