P. v. Galvez
Defendant Ceasar William Galvez challenges his second-degree murder conviction for stabbing the victim 13 times during a fistfight. He contends the court wrongly instructed the jury on the right of the initial aggressor in mutual combat to act in self-defense. He claims insufficient evidence showed he did not act in self-defense. And he asserts insufficient evidence supported a criminal street gang sentence enhancement.
We affirm. The court correctly instructed the jury the initial aggressor in mutual combat must stop fighting before acting in self-defense, unless the counterattack is so â€
