P. v Santa Anna
Mark Angelo Santa Anna (appellant) was charged with a number of crimes that took place during the period from April 2006 through July 2006 in the Pico Rivera area. After a jury trial, he was convicted of two counts of attempted premeditated murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664/187,[1] subd. (a), counts 1 & 10), one count of attempted second degree robbery (§§ 664/211, count 2), two counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2), counts 4 & 13), three counts of robbery (§ 211, counts 5, 6, & 7), one count of residential burglary (§ 459, count 8), one count of first degree murder (§ 187, subd. (a), count 9), and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1), counts 11 & 12). The jury found true the allegations that he had committed each of the offenses for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang within the meaning of section 186.22, subdivision (b), and that he had committed the robbery alleged in count 7 with two other principals and had entered a structure within the meaning of section 213, subdivision (a)(1). The jury also found true the allegations that he personally used a firearm in the commission of counts 4, 8, and 13 (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)); inflicted great bodily injury in the commission of counts 7 and 8 (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)); personally used a firearm in the commission of counts 2, 5, 7, 9, and 10 (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)); personally and intentionally discharged a firearm in the commission of counts 9 and 10 (§ 12022.53, subd. (c)); and personally and intentionally discharged a firearm proximately causing great bodily injury in the commission of counts 9 and 10 (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). It also found that a principal personally used a firearm in counts 1 and 2 (§ 12022.53, subd. (b) & (e)) and personally and intentionally discharged a firearm in counts 1 and 2 (§ 12022.53, subds. (c) & (e)). In a separate proceeding, appellant admitted that he had suffered one prior conviction within the meaning of sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), and 667, subdivisions (b) through (i), and one prior serious felony conviction within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a)(1). He was sentenced to 243 years to life. He appeals, raising numerous contentions, all of which we find to be without merit. We affirm the judgment.
