P. v. Prieto
Defendants Jesus Prieto and Jose Gonzalez were charged and convicted of the murder of Donald Monroe, and the attempted murder of three others. Additionally, the jury found true numerous enhancements and special circumstances. The crimes were the result of a gang-related drive-by shooting in which Gonzalez was the gunman and Prieto was the driver. Prieto contends the prosecutor committed misconduct in his closing argument and in presenting false testimony, that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to request instructions on intoxication and by conceding guilt, and that the trial court erred in the aiding and abetting instructions given. He also asserts cumulative error. Court find no error and shall therefore affirm the judgment against Prieto.
