P. v. Flores
A jury convicted Justin Tyler Flores of one count of shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, and found true an allegation that he personally and intentionally discharged a handgun, causing great bodily injury to the victim. On appeal, Flores contends: (1) insufficient evidence supported a jury finding that he was the shooter; (2) the prosecutor engaged in numerous instances of prejudicial misconduct; (3) the trial court abused its discretion by permitting supplemental argument on reasonable doubt in response to a jury request; (4) the trial court erred in failing to sua sponte instruct the jury on how to use evidence of uncharged offenses; (5) the court erred in failing to sua sponte instruct the jury on the lesser included offense of grossly negligent discharge of a firearm; (6) the trial court deprived him of a fair trial by limiting the defense to two character witnesses; (7) he was denied effective assistance of counsel; (8) the trial court committed multiple sentencing errors; (9) the sentence imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment; and (10) the clerk’s transcript contains an error and must be amended to properly reflect a parole revocation fine. We modify the judgment to reflect a parole revocation fine and otherwise affirm.
