P. v. Rodriguez
David Arnold Rodriguez, Jr., was convicted of two counts of attempted murder, infliction of corporal injury on his spouse, and false imprisonment.[1] The jury also found true various enhancements as well as the allegation that the attempted murders were willful, deliberate, and premeditated. Rodriguez admitted he suffered two prior convictions that constituted strikes. He was sentenced to a determinate term of 29 years and an indeterminate term of 75 years to life.
Rodriguez argues that one of the attempted murder convictions, along with the special allegation associated with that conviction, was not supported by substantial evidence. He argues the trial court erred in excluding some evidence and admitting other evidence. Finally, he asserts the sentence for false imprisonment must be stayed pursuant to Penal Code section 654.[2] We find no merit to any of these arguments and affirm the judgment.
