P. v. Romero
Appellant Gerardo Romero stands convicted, following a jury trial, of attempted premeditated murder in which he personally discharged a firearm (Pen. Code,[1] 187, subd. (a), 189, 664, 12022.53, subd. (c); count 1) and assault with a firearm in which he personally used a firearm ( 245, subd. (a)(2), 12022.5, subd. (a)(1); count 2), both of which were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1)). Following a bifurcated court trial, appellant was found to have suffered a prior juvenile adjudication under the three strikes law ( 667, subds. (c)-(j), 1170.12). Appellant was sentenced on count 1 to life in prison with the possibility of parole, with a minimum parole eligibility date of 30 years (15 years, pursuant to 186.22, subd. (b)(5), doubled for the strike), plus 20 years for the firearm enhancement. He now appeals, raising various claims of error. For the reasons that follow, Court affirm.
