P. v. Rivera
Defendants and appellants Israel Rivera and Edwin Gutierrez appeal their convictions for kidnapping and false imprisonment, and Gutierrezs conviction for assault with a deadly weapon. Rivera and Gutierrez were sentenced to prison terms of 19 and 22 years, respectively. Gutierrez contends the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for kidnapping. Both appellants urge that their convictions must be reversed because the trial court committed instructional errors, improperly admitted evidence, and erred by denying their mistrial motions based on the prosecutors discovery violation. Appellants also contend their presentence custody credits were incorrectly calculated. Court modify appellants custody credits as requested. In all other respects, Court affirm the judgment.
