P. v. Avina
Raul Pardo Avina and George Gomez, Jr., who were jointly charged in a 35-count amended information and jointly tried before a jury, were convicted of numerous offenses committed in late April through late June of 2006, including many robberies, in Riverside County.[1] The court sentenced Avina to an aggregate prison term of 91 years and Gomez to an aggregate term of 58 years four months.
Gomez and Avina separately appeal. Gomez contends there is insufficient evidence to support his convictions of counts 8 (attempted robbery of Dean Goetz), 17 (robbery of Jesus Sustaita Hernandez), and 22 (robbery of Salvador Pimentel Valencia).
