P. v. Duarte-Rodriguez
A jury convicted appellant Jose Manuel Duarte-Rodriguez of first degree murder (Pen. Code, 187) and found true an allegation that appellant knew that another principal in the commission of that offense was personally armed with a firearm ( 12022, subd. (d)). In a separate proceeding, the court found true allegations that appellant had suffered two strikes[2]and one prior serious felony conviction ( 667, subd. (a)). The court imposed a prison term of 81 years to life, with the determinate portion of the term consisting of 75 years for the substantive offense, five years for the prior serious felony conviction enhancement and one year for the firearm enhancement. On appeal, appellants sole contention is that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction of murder. Court affirm.
