P. v. Maiden
A jury found appellant Sidney Maiden guilty of carjacking (Pen. Code, § 215, subd. (a)),[1] assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (b)), attempted carjacking (§§ 664/215, subd. (a)), attempted first degree robbery (§ 664/212.5, subd. (b)), second degree robbery (§ 212.5, subd. (c)), possession of a firearm by a felon (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1)), and active participation in a criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (a)). True findings were returned with respect to gang-related enhancements (§186.22, subd. (b)(1)) and allegations of firearm use (§§ 12022.5, subd (a), 12022.53(b), (e)(1).) Maiden was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Three issues are raised in this appeal, none of which have merit. A challenge is made as to the sufficiency of evidence in support of Maiden’s convictions for attempted first degree robbery, second degree robbery, and three counts of assault with a firearm. There are also allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. Finally, Maiden claims section 186.22, subdivision (a), is unconstitutional under the void for vagueness doctrine. We affirm the judgment.
