P. v. Lee
Minh Nghia Lee appeals from a judgment after a jury convicted him of first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and attempted premeditated murder, and found true the special circumstances allegation of lying in wait and the allegation he was armed with a firearm. Lee argues: (1) the trial court erroneously denied his motion to dismiss because the prosecution of his case was unreasonably delayed; (2) the court erroneously granted the prosecutions cause challenges thereby denying him a fair and impartial jury; (3) the court erroneously allowed the prosecution to call a witness to testify knowing the witness would refuse to testify; (4) the court erroneously admitted a redacted version of his statement to the police; (5) the court erroneously admitted the gang experts testimony; and (6) the lying-in-wait allegation was inapplicable to him because he was not the actual killer. None of his contentions have merit, and Court affirm the judgment.
