P. v. Childs
Defendant Martis Leonard Childs appeals from a judgment sentencing him to a prison term of 90 years to life after a jury found him guilty of first degree murder (Pen. Code,[1] § 187, subd. (a)) and attempted first degree murder (§§ 664/187, subd. (a)), and found to be true allegations that the crimes were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C)) and that defendant personally discharged a handgun causing death and great bodily injury (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). Defendant raises two issues on appeal. He contends: (1) the investigators employed impermissibly suggestive identification procedures with one of the witnesses, who was the only non-accomplice witness to identify defendant; and (2) the trial court improperly admitted dog scent identification evidence. We affirm the judgment.
