P. v. Regalado
Defendants Guillermo Martinez Regalado, Sr. (Senior) and his son Guillermo Martinez Regalado, Jr. (Junior) appeal judgments following their jury convictions of first degree murder and related offenses. On appeal, Senior contends: (1) the trial court prejudicially erred by instructing the jury it could not find him guilty of a lesser offense than Junior; (2) the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct; and (3) the trial court erred by not instructing sua sponte on voluntary intoxication as a defense to the two criminal threat counts against him. In a separate appeal, Junior filed a Wende[1] brief, mentioning possible, but not reasonably arguable, issues as discussed below.
