P. v. Claycomb
Defendant William Claycomb appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury trial. The jury found defendant guilty of first degree murder (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a)) and found true the allegations that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm, proximately causing death (id., 12022.53, subd. (d)), and that he committed the crime for the benefit of a criminal street gang (id., 186.22, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate term of 50 years to life in state prison, consisting of 25 years to life for the murder, plus 25 years to life for the firearm use, with defendant to be ineligible for parole for 15 years pursuant to Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision (b)(4).
On appeal, defendant challenges the admissibility of evidence obtained from a search, the sufficiency of the evidence to support the gang enhancement, and the gang experts testimony. Court affirm.
