P. v. Nunez
A jury convicted defendant Ismael Nunez of all three counts with which he was charged: murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a));[1] attempted murder (§§ 187, subd. (a), 664, subd. (a)); and street terrorism (§ 186.22, subd. (a).) As to the murder conviction (count 1), the jury found true the street gang special circumstance (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(22)). The jury also found several charged firearm and street gang enhancements to be true. The court sentenced defendant to 50 years to life in prison, plus two consecutive life without the possibility of parole terms.
In his appeal, Nunez raises eight distinct issues. Nunez also filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, in which he contends his trial attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel with regard to several aspects of the case. We affirm the judgment (with one slight modification with regard to the restitution order) and deny Nunez's petition.
