P. v. Fletcher
A jury convicted defendant James Fletcher of one count of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664/187)[1] (count 1) and one count of voluntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense of murder (§ 187) (count 6). The jury found that Fletcher committed count 1 willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation, and it found the firearm and gang enhancement allegations true as to that count. (§§ 12022.53, subds. (b), (c), (d) & (e)(1), 186.22, subd. (b).) The jury found that Fletcher personally used a firearm during the commission of count 6. (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)).
A jury convicted defendant Jerry Burke of two counts of attempted murder (§§ 664/187) (counts 2 & 3). The jury found that counts 2 and 3 were committed willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation, and it found the gang enhancement allegations to be true (§ 186.22, subd. (b)). In both counts 2 and 3, the jury found true the allegation that a principal personally discharged a firearm within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivisions (b), (c), and (e)(1), but not true as to subdivision (d) of that statute.
