People v. Sedillo
Annotate this CaseIn 1995 Moreno was convicted of the 1992 murder of Bandel, and the attempted murders of five others. The convictions arose out of a gang-related shooting outside a Long Beach home. Moreno was the actual shooter. Sedillo drove the getaway car; although witnesses identified her from a photo array, no witness was able to identify Sedillo at a live lineup. As a result, she was not immediately charged. In 2010, a wiretap of Sedillo’s phone in an unrelated matter recorded statements in which she admitted her involvement in the 1992 murder. Sedillo was convicted of second degree murder (Pen. Code 187(a)), five counts of attempted murder (sections 664, 187(a)), and shooting at an inhabited dwelling (section 246). The court of appeal affirmed the murder conviction, rejecting challenges to jury instructions and the sufficiency of the evidence; reversed as to the attempted murder counts, which were time-barred; and remanded for determination of whether the statute of limitations on the shooting at an uninhabited dwelling count has expired.
