P. v. Hollywood
Jesse James Hollywood appeals from the judgment entered after his conviction by a jury of first degree murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189)[1] and kidnapping. (§ 207.) The jury found true a special circumstance allegation that the murder had been committed while appellant was engaged in the commission of the kidnapping. (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(B). The jury also found true an allegation that a principal in the commission of the murder had been armed with an assault weapon or machine gun. (§ 12022, subd. (a)(2).) The People sought the death penalty, but the jury decided that appellant should be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (LWOP). The trial court imposed a sentence of LWOP for the murder plus three years for the firearm enhancement. The court imposed a determinate term of eight years for the kidnapping.
