P. v. Miranda
A jury convicted Joel Torrejon Miranda of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. (Pen. Code, § 191.5, subd. (a); all further statutory references are to this code unless otherwise noted.) The jury also found Miranda fled the scene of the crime (Veh. Code, § 20001, subd. (c)) and had suffered a prior conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) with a prior conviction (§ 191.5, subd. (d)). Miranda contends the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury to consider whether a second driver’s speeding was a superseding and intervening cause of the victim’s death. For the reasons expressed below, we affirm.
