P. v. Gonzalez
Alan Javier Gonzalez appeals the judgment, by jury, convicting him of the second degree murder of 19-year old Alex Aldana (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189),[1] assault with a semiautomatic firearm on Lydia Hernandez (§ 245, subd. (b)(1)), two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1)), and one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition. (§ 12316, subd. (b)(1).) The jury further found that, in committing the murder and the assault, appellant personally discharged a firearm and that he committed the offenses for the benefit of a criminal street gang. (§§ 12022.53, subd. (b)-(d), 186.22, subd. (b).) Appellant admitted that he had one prior strike conviction. (§§ 667, subd. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subd. (a)-(d).) The trial court sentenced appellant to a term in state prison of 55 years to life for the murder, plus 47 years, 4 months on the remaining convictions.
