P. v. Herrera
Defendant appeals from his conviction for two counts of murder with special circumstances, three counts of attempted murder, kidnapping, felon in possession of a firearm, as well as the corresponding gang and firearm allegations.[1] His conviction arose out of shootings in 2007 and 2009. In 2009, while defendant was in custody on an unrelated offense, he confessed to the 2007 and 2009 crimes to undercover deputies posing as inmates. On appeal, defendant complains that his jailhouse confession should have been excluded on various grounds. He also argues that the 2007 and 2009 crimes should not have been tried together. Finally, he claims error in the imposition and calculation of custody and various fines. We disagree with all but his contention concerning the fines. We also conclude that defendant received more custody credits than he was entitled. We affirm the judgment with modifications.
