P. v. Scott
Defendants Andre Dee Scott and Larry Douglas were convicted by jury trial of two counts of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189, 664) and two counts of assault with a firearm (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(2)). The jury also found true allegations that both defendants acted willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation in the commission of the attempted murders (Pen. Code, § 189, 664), personally used a firearm in the commission of the assaults and the attempted murders (Pen. Code, §§ 12022.5, subds. (a) & (d), 12022.53, subd. (b)), and personally and intentionally discharged a firearm in the commission of one of the attempted murders (Pen. Code, § 12022.53, subds. (b) & (c)), and that Douglas had personally and intentionally discharged a firearm in the commission of the other attempted murder. The jury also convicted Douglas of pimping (Pen. Code, § 266h) and pandering (Pen. Code, § 266i, subd. (a)(1)), and Scott of misdemeanor destroying or concealing evidence (Pen. Code, § 135). The court found true allegations that Douglas had suffered a prior serious felony strike conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (a) & (b)-(i), 1170.12) and a prison prior (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). Scott admitted that he had suffered a prior juvenile adjudication, and the court found that the juvenile adjudication qualified both as a prior serious felony conviction under Penal Code section 667, subdivision (a) and as a strike under Penal Code sections 667, subdivisions (b) to (i) and 1170.12. Scott was committed to state prison for a life term consecutive to a determinate term of 40 years, and Douglas was committed to state prison for a life term consecutive to a determinate term of 58 years. Both sentences included consecutive terms for the two attempted murder counts.
