P. v. Egurrola
A jury found Gilbert Egurrola guilty of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and kidnapping (Pen. Code, § 207, subd. (a)). Egurrola challenges the murder conviction, contending the homicide instructions taken as a whole, and the standard CALCRIM No. 522 instruction in particular, were unconstitutionally ambiguous with respect to the ability of provocation to reduce murder from first to second degree. We reject this contention and affirm the judgment.
