P. v. Aguilar
This is an appeal by Jose Aurelio Aguilar, defendant and appellant (defendant), from the judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of Penal Code section 12021, subdivision (a)(1)[1] (count 1), and possession of ammunition in violation of section 12316, subdivision (b)(1) (count 2), and the trial court sentenced him to serve the middle term of two years in state prison on each count, to be served concurrently.[2]
Defendant raises two claims of error in this appeal—first, he contends the evidence is insufficient to support the jury’s verdict finding him guilty on count 1 of being a felon in possession of a firearm and, second, that the trial court committed prejudicial error in responding to questions the jury asked during their deliberations.
We conclude both claims are meritless, as we explain below. Therefore, we will affirm the judgment.
