P. v. Stanbrough
The trial court, sitting without a jury, convicted appellant Timothy James Stanbrough of felony murder in the first degree with the special circumstance of having committed the murder during a burglary. The trial court sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Stanbrough contends the conviction must be reversed because he had consent to enter the house where the crime occurred and to take the items he did. If we conclude he did not have consent, then the assaultive crime he committed merges with the murder and cannot provide a basis for the burglary. In the alternative, he claims the death was not intended and, as an aider and abettor, the crime he participated in was not one that was inherently dangerous to human life. Court are not persuaded by his arguments and will affirm the judgment.
