P. v. Curtis CA2/3
Autumn Christian was shot during a gang-related incident. Her companion, Robert Baker, tentatively identified defendant and appellant Lenard Charles Curtis as the shooter from a photographic six-pack, and Baker and Christian thereafter identified him at a stationhouse showup, which occurred within 44 hours of the shooting. At Curtis’s trial, the prosecution introduced those identifications and Christian’s in-court identification, and a jury convicted Curtis of shooting from a motor vehicle. On appeal, Curtis contends that his conviction must be reversed because the showup violated his due process rights. He further contends that evidence introduced to support the gang allegation violated the Confrontation Clause and there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. We reject these contentions and affirm the judgment.
