P. v. Carskaddon
Based on a shooting spree, a jury convicted defendant Don Lee Carskaddon of the first degree murder of his eldest brother at their mothers home, premeditated attempted murder of another brother and a lodger in the home, and shooting at that inhabited dwelling. It also convicted him of shooting at the inhabited dwelling of his former parents in law, and their premeditated attempted murders. It sustained various gun enhancements as well. The trial court sentenced defendant to prison for an 80 year determinate term and a consecutive minimum indeterminate life term of 78 years. On appeal, defendant argues the evidence is insufficient with respect to the first degree murder conviction to establish either premeditation or that he was still on his motorcycle when he fired the gun at his eldest brother (which were the alternate theories in the jurys verdict). He further contends that the evidence is insufficient to prove that he shot at his other brother and the lodger with the intent to kill them. Court shall affirm.
