P. v. Juarez
Defendant Samuel Piilani Juarez was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and attempted voluntary manslaughter for killing Manuel Lopez and injuring Jose Luna when he drove his truck into them after a party. On appeal, he contends (1) the trial court erred by failing to respond properly to the jurys questions, (2) the trial court erred by instructing the jury with both alternative paragraphs of CALJIC No. 5.16, and (3) CALJIC No. 5.15 was misleading and lightened the prosecutions burden. Court affirm.
