P. v. Diaz
Defendant Mariano Diaz, Jr., was convicted of two counts of attempted murder and numerous enhancements were found true. He was also convicted of two counts of assault with a firearm. The trial court sentenced him to prison for a total term of 75 years to life. He appeals, claiming the evidence was insufficient to support the jurys findings that he premeditated and deliberated the attempted murders and the trial court erred in its imposition of sentence. He also argues that his sentence is cruel and unusual punishment, particularly because he was only 17 years old when the crimes were committed. Except to correct the base sentence ordered, as conceded by respondent, Court affirm.
