P. v. Hays
Davion Hays appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of one count of willful, deliberate and premeditated murder and two counts of willful, deliberate and premeditated attempted murder and found firearm enhancement allegations to be true. The trial court sentenced Hays to two consecutive life terms plus 100 years to life. Hays contends there was insufficient evidence to prove he did not act in self-defense. We disagree, finding sufficient evidence in the record supporting Hays’s convictions for premeditated murder and premeditated attempted murder.
Hays also contends the trial court committed reversible error in admitting evidence of uncharged possession of a sawed-off shotgun not related to the charged offenses. We agree and reverse.
