P. v. Moreno CA2/8
Nineteen-year-old gang member Freddy Moreno shot into a crowd at a party, wounding three people. A jury convicted him of three counts of attempted premeditated murder as charged (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 664) and one count of attempted voluntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense of attempted murder (§§ 192, 664). It found firearm use and gang enhancements to be true. (§§ 186.22, subd. (b); 12022.5; 12022.53, subds. (b)–(d).) After Moreno admitted he had suffered a strike for a prior juvenile robbery adjudication when he was 16 years old, the trial court sentenced him to 165 years to life. Had the trial court stricken the prior juvenile adjudication as Moreno requested pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero), he theoretically would have been sentenced to 120 years to life.
