P. v. Oregon
Appellant Juan Carlos Oregon and his codefendants, Jaime Vidal Aguirre and Anthony Manuel Perez, were jointly charged with offenses arising from a car chase and shooting involving two police officers. After the trial court severed appellant’s trial from those of the codefendants, a jury convicted appellant of two counts of attempted premeditated murder of a peace officer (Pen. Code,[1] §§ 664, subds. (a) & (e), 187, 189; counts 1 & 2), two counts of assault upon a peace officer with a semiautomatic firearm (§ 245, subd. (d)(2); counts 3 & 4), and one count each of being a felon in possession of a firearm (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1); count 5), receiving a stolen vehicle (§ 496d, subd. (a); count 8), and recklessly evading a peace officer while operating a motor vehicle (Veh. Code, § 2800.2; count 9). The jury also found true the gang enhancement allegations in each count (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)), and the firearm enhancement allegations in counts 1 through 4 (§ 12022.53, subds. (c) & (e)(1)). The trial court imposed an aggregate prison term of 79 years to life.
