P. v. Turner
The jury found defendant Terry Turner guilty of the first degree murder of 16-year-old Jerry S. (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a).) The jury found true the allegations that defendant personally used a firearm causing death within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivision (d) and the offense was committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(A)). On March 20, 2007, defendant was sentenced to state prison for 50 years to life. Defendant timely appealed.
Defendant contends the judgment should be reversed because the prosecution failed to disclose evidence prior to trial linking his tattoo Young Boss to a known gang member who lived at defendants address. We conclude defendant forfeited the issue by failing to raise it below, and defense counsels failure to object to the evidence was not ineffective assistance of counsel. Therefore, Court affirm the judgment.
