P. v. Brinckman
Defendant Kevin Terry Brinckman was convicted by a jury of the second degree murder of John Alan Lafont. (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a).)[1] The jury found true the enhancement allegations that defendant intentionally and personally discharged a firearm causing the death of Lafont within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivision (d), and personally used a firearm within the meaning of section 12022.5, subdivision (a). The trial court sentenced defendant to state prison for an indeterminate term of 15 years to life for his murder conviction, plus a consecutive indeterminate term of 25 years to life for the section 12022.53, subdivision (d) enhancement. A three-year term for the section 12022.5, subdivision (a) enhancement was imposed, but stayed pursuant to section 654. Defendant was ordered to pay, among other things, victim restitution of $2,944, plus a 10 percent administrative fee, to the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board. ( 1202.4, subd. (f)(2).) Finding no merit in defendants claims, Court shall affirm the judgment.
