P. v. Hernandez
Defendant Edgar Mejia Hernandez was convicted of attempted murder (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a), 664, subd. (a); all further statutory references are to this code), firing a gun from a motor vehicle ( 12034, subd. (c)), firing a gun at an occupied motor vehicle ( 246), and two counts of assault with a firearm ( 245, subd. (a)(2)). The jury also found he had personally discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury ( 12022.53, subd. (d)), personally inflicted great bodily injury ( 12022.7, subd. (a)), and personally used a firearm ( 12022.5, subd. (a)). He was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole plus 25 years to life. He appeals, claiming the court erred in denying his motion to suppress his confession because the confession was not voluntary and his waiver of the Miranda warning (Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694]) was not voluntary, intelligent, or knowing. Court disagree and affirm.
