P. v. Matheis CA4/2
A jury convicted defendants and appellants, Brian Thomas Matheis and Amy Lou Daniel, of first degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189, 29800, subd. (a)(1)). The jury also found true that Matheis had committed the murder while lying in wait and had personally discharged a firearm, and that Daniel had participated in a murder in which a principal was armed with a firearm. (§§ 190.2, subd. (a)(15), 12022, subd. (a)(1), 12022.53, subd. (d).) Matheis admitted to one prior strike conviction, one prior serious felony, and one prior prison term. (§§ 667, subds. (a), (b)-(i), 667.5, subd. (b), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d).) The court sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus 25 years to life and another six-year determinate term. It sentenced Daniel to 25 years to life in prison, plus a one-year determinate term and a three-year concurrent term.
