P. v. Tran CA4/3
A jury convicted defendant Tuan Thanh Tran of attempted premeditated attempted murder (count 1), two counts of the lesser included offense of attempted voluntary manslaughter (counts 2, 3), and shooting at an occupied motor vehicle (count 4). The jury and the court found true sentence enhancement allegations related to defendant’s gun use and prior serious felony conviction. The court sentenced defendant to life with the possibility of parole, plus 25 years for gun use and five years for the prior serious felony conviction.
Defendant asserts the court erred by denying his pretrial motion to suppress his statement to the police because they violated his rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda), and the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct in closing argument. We conclude neither contention has merit and affirm the judgment.
