Defendant Armando Villalobos was convicted by jury trial of second degree murder (Pen. Code, 187) and three counts of attempted murder (Pen. Code, 187, 664, subd. (a)), and the jury found true allegations that he had personally used a knife in the commission of these offenses (Pen. Code, 12022, subd. (b)(1)) and that he had personally inflicted great bodily injury (GBI) on the attempted murder victims (Pen. Code, 12022.7, subd. (a)). He was committed to state prison to serve a term of 15 years to life consecutive to a determinate term of 12 years. On appeal, he contends that the jurys verdicts are not supported by substantial evidence and that the trial court prejudicially erred in instructing the jury with CALCRIM No. 600 on the kill zone theory. Court conclude that substantial evidence supports the jurys verdicts and that the court did not prejudicially err in instructing the jury with CALCRIM No. 600.
