P. v. Resendiz
A jury convicted appellants Nolberto Resendiz and Martin Arroyo of two counts of attempted premeditated murder and one count of street terrorism. It also convicted Arroyo of discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and found true various enhancement allegations, including that the attempted murders were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang. On appeal, we reject appellants' claims that their convictions should be reversed due to insufficient evidence and evidentiary error. However, we do agree with them that the trial court should have 1) stayed their sentences for street terrorism, and 2) sentenced Resendiz to life in prison with parole, as opposed to 15 years to life, on the attempted murder counts. We will modify appellants' sentences accordingly and affirm the judgment in all other respects.
