P. v. Willis CA3
We take the facts of defendant’s crimes from our unpublished opinion affirming his conviction. (See People v. Lewis (2021) 11 Cal.5th 952, 972 [appellate opinion generally part of record of conviction as applied to section 1170.95 proceedings] (Lewis).) We rely on the record of his prior appeal for necessary procedural facts. (§ 1170.95, subd. (d)(3).)
“The Robbery of Eugene Mannie
“On October 6, 1992, Daniel Rontal, who testified on behalf of the prosecution as part of a plea agreement, spent some time drinking and driving around with Willis in Willis’s gray 1983 Pontiac Grand Prix. Later that evening they picked up Willis’s girlfriend, Juanita Bravo, from work. Bravo was carrying a .22-caliber revolver in her purse and gave it to Willis, who put the gun under the driver’s seat. After driving Bravo to the home he shared with her, Willis left with Rontal. According to Bravo, Willis was wearing black pants, a white T-shirt and a hair net.
