P. v. Goins
A jury convicted defendant Raymond Goins of five counts of robbery in concert of an inhabited dwelling and one count of being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm. (Pen. Code, 213, subd. (a)(1)(A), 12021.1, subd. (a).)[1] The jury also found true allegations that defendant personally used a firearm during the robberies. The jury acquitted defendant of two counts of robbery. Defendant admitted allegations that he had previously suffered a serious felony conviction, a strike conviction, and had served three prior prison terms. ( 667, subd. (a), 667, subd. (b)-(i)/1170.12, 667.5, subd. (b).) The trial court sentenced defendant to a 28-year prison sentence.
On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred prejudicially by admitting evidence that, three days after the separate preliminary hearing of one of the other persons charged in the robberies, the victims house had been shot up. He also contends that the trial court improperly restricted cross-examination of a witness for bias, and gave unconstitutional reasonable doubt instructions. Court affirm.
