P. v. Valdez CA2/4
Junior Valdez and Jaime Arturo Estrada appeal from judgments and sentences following their convictions for three counts of residential burglary. They contend the evidence was insufficient to support either their convictions or the jury’s finding that the offenses were gang related. Valdez separately contends that the gang expert impermissibly relied on testimonial hearsay, that the trial court abused its discretion in precluding him from presenting evidence to impeach the gang expert, and that there was instructional error. Finally, Valdez contends the trial court was unaware it lacked discretion to strike two of the gang enhancements. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the convictions of both appellants and as to Valdez, remand for resentencing.
