P. v. Hernandez
Defendant and appellant Anna Maria Hernandez appeals her convictions for second degree murder and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. While under the influence of alcohol, Hernandez drove the wrong way on the 14 Freeway at approximately 3:00 a.m., striking another car and killing the driver, Emma Smolinsky. Hernandez was sentenced to a term of 15 years to life in prison. Hernandez contends: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support her conviction for second degree murder; (2) her trial counsel was ineffective in a variety of respects; (3) the prosecutor committed misconduct; and (4) instruction with CALCRIM No. 226 was constitutional error. Court affirm.
