P. v. Sewell
Appellant Dandre Damone Sewell appeals from a judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of first degree murder (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a)), and second degree murder ( 187, subd. (b)). As to both counts, the jury found true the allegations that appellant personally and intentionally used and discharged a firearm which caused great bodily injury or death within the meaning of sections 12022.53, subdivisions (b), (c), and (d). The jury also found true the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders within the meaning of section 190.2, subdivision (a)(3).Appellant contends that: (1) the admission of Sterlinso Jacksons (Jackson) preliminary hearing testimony without an adequate showing of due diligence violated his right to confrontation; and (2) the giving of self defense jury instructions violated his right to due process
