P. v. Halford
A jury convicted defendants J. Douglas Halford and Mark Hernandez of the second degree murder of a homeless man, Michael Wentworth, and the attempted murder of the decedent’s homeless friend, Randy Terrell. Terrell taunted and threatened defendants for harassing Danny “Old Man Dan†Rasmussen, his 62-year-old homeless neighbor, and defendants, believing Terrell was another man who had beaten their 56-year-old diabetic friend and mentor, Danny Hughes, pursued Terrell and a fight ensued. The jury rejected defendants’ claims of self-defense. On appeal, both defendants assert instructional error. We affirm.
