P. v. Almeda
Defendant John Anthony Almeda shot and wounded Angelo S. in a drive-by shooting, leaving Angelo paralyzed. An information charged defendant with attempted premeditated murder, discharge of a firearm from a motor vehicle, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. (Pen. Code, 664/187, subd. (a), 12034, subd. (c), 12021, subd. (a)(1).)[1] The information further alleged defendant committed the offenses in association with a criminal street gang. ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1).) A jury found defendant guilty, and the trial court sentenced him to life with the possibility of parole, with a consecutive term of 25 years to life. Defendant appeals, contending: the court erred in denying his motions for a continuance and a mistrial, the court violated his constitutional right to confront and cross examine witnesses, and cumulative error. Court affirm the judgment.
