P. v. Casillas
A jury convicted Fernando Casillas of robbery (count 1) and assault with a deadly weapon (count 2). The jury found true the allegations that Casillas had personally used a firearm as to both counts. On count 1, the jury also found true the allegation that Casillas intentionally and personally discharged a firearm. The court sentenced Casillas to prison for 22 years.
The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court committed reversible error when it failed to instruct the jury on circumstantial evidence under CALCRIM No. 225. Court conclude the trial court did not err in instructing the jury with CALCRIM No. 224 instead of CALCRIM No. 225, and, in any event, any error was harmless. Accordingly, Court affirm the judgment.
