P. v. Barron
A jury convicted defendants Terrell Barron and Tryon Larry Smith of one count of carjacking ( 215, subd. (a))[1]and two counts of robbery ( 211) with the findings that the crimes had been committed for the benefit of a street gang ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1)) and that each defendant had personally used a firearm during commission of the crimes ( 12022.53, subd. (b)). In addition, the jury convicted defendant Smith of assault ( 240).
Defendants raise several contentions involving the sufficiency of the evidence. They attack the evidence identifying them as the perpetrators of the offenses; they urge there is insufficient evidence to support the street gang enhancement; and they claim that the evidence did not establish a carjacking. In addition, defendant Barron argues that one of the trial courts evidentiary rulings constituted prejudicial error. Court reject all claims of error and therefore affirm the judgments.
