P. v. Rivera
A jury convicted the defendant, Raymundo Rivera, of murder and robbery. He claims that an instruction on robbery was defective and requires reversing the judgment as to both murder and robbery. He also claims that the total prison sentence and the amount of a restitution fine were miscalculated. Finally, he asks us to review another perpetrators prison records for certain information that may be useful to his case. Finding that recent California Supreme Court authority compels rejection of defendants instructional claim, that review of the records in question yields no relevant information, and that the restitution fine is correct, but that defendants consecutive sentence lacks a sufficient legal basis, we will reverse the judgment in part and remand for resentencing, while affirming the judgment in all other respects.[1]
