P. v. Figueroa
DNA evidence, vocal recognition, and eyewitness identification all showed appellant Eduardo Rios Figueroa to be one of at least three (maybe four) men who invaded a Laguna Niguel apartment early one morning, threatened its occupants, robbed them of their valuables, and tried to pin the crime on a rival gang by declaring they were from that gang, there for the purpose of “taxing†the occupants. Figueroa was subsequently convicted of four counts of first degree robbery, one count of residential burglary, and one count of street terrorism. He was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison.
