P. v. Martin CA4/2
Defendant graduated from high school in Corona in 2010 or 2011. After high school, defendant played minor league baseball in Florida. Under his contract, defendant was to receive approximately $860,000 for playing baseball. Defendant played baseball for approximately three seasons from 2011 to 2013. Defendant tested positive for marijuana three times. The baseball team required that defendant attend a substance abuse treatment program, but defendant “didn’t come in time,” so the baseball team released him. Defendant spent all the money he was given.
In 2015, defendant was living at his parents’ home in Corona (the House), and he changed “from a nice presentable person to someone that you could tell there was evil on his face, in his eyes.” Defendant was prescribed medication for anger issues, but it is unclear if he was taking the medication. Defendant had verbal and physical altercations with his relatives. Defendant “tried to kill [his mother] a couple of times.”
