P. v. Barraza
Bryant Barraza and Nick Verdugo were tried together before a jury and convicted of first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, assault with a firearm and related charges. The jury also found true several firearm-use and gang enhancement allegations. On appeal Barraza and Verdugo, each joining in the others arguments, primarily challenge several of the jury instructions, including those concerning accomplice testimony, conspiracy and assault with a firearm. They also contend the court erred in limiting their cross-examination of a witness and imposing certain sentence enhancements. Court modify the judgments to correct unauthorized sentences imposed on both Barraza and Verdugo and, in all other respects, affirm.
