P. v. Johnson
A jury convicted defendants, Kevin Dewayne Johnson, Keywon Clarke and George Leon, of three counts of attempted willful, deliberate and premeditated murder. (Pen. Code,[1] §§ 187, subd. (a), 664.) The jury also convicted Mr. Johnson and Mr. Leon of three counts of assault with and personal use of a firearm. (§§ 245, subd. (a)(2), 12022.5, subd. (a).) As to each count, the jury found the crimes were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang. (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C).) As to each attempted murder count, the jury found a principal in the offense intentionally discharged a firearm. (§ 12022.53, subds. (d) and (e)(1).) Mr. Clarke and Mr. Leon were juveniles (16 years old at the time of the offenses) who were tried as adults. Each defendant was sentenced to 96 years to life in state prison. We reverse in part, affirm as modified in part, and remand for resentencing.
