P. v. Carrasco
A jury found Carlos Humberto Carrasco and Jose Nogales (collectively appellants) each guilty of two counts of second degree murder (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a))[1](counts 3, 4) and one count of shooting at an inhabited residence ( 246) (count 5).[2] With respect to each count, and each appellant, the jury found that the offense was committed for the benefit, at the direction of, or in association with, a criminal street gang ( 186.22, subd. (b)), and also found that a principal used a firearm causing the death of another person within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivisions (d) and (e)(1). After the jury returned its verdicts, the trial court found Nogales guilty of two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm ( 12021, subd. (e)) (counts 6, 7) and found true gang enhancement allegations ( 186.22, subd. (b)) associated with each count. The trial court sentenced Carrasco and Nogales each to 80 years to life in prison.
