P. v. Adams
Kenjuan De Adams appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial in which he was convicted of premeditated murder and two counts of attempted premeditated murder, with further findings that during the commission of these offenses he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm, causing death or great bodily injury. He was also convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Defendant was sentenced to multiple terms of life and 25-years-to-life in prison. He contends that he was prejudiced by being tried with a codefendant who entered a plea during trial, the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to allow defendant to be recalled as a witness and alternatively defense counsel was ineffective in counsels examination of defendant, the trial court erroneously restricted cross-examination of a prosecution witness, the jury should have been instructed on voluntary manslaughter, and the finding of great bodily injury as to one of the attempted murder victims was not supported by the evidence and alternatively the great bodily injury enhancement is unconstitutionally vague. Court affirm.
