P. v. Lee
Annotate this Case
Three defendants were tried on various charges arising from two shootings that occurred as part of a gang war. They were tried alongside two other co-defendants and ultimately convicted of multiple counts of murder and related charges. Defendants admitted to various enhancements and were ultimately sentenced to LWOP plus additional terms of imprisonment. Defendants appealed on various grounds, including a claim that there was insufficient evidence supporting the kill zone instruction on both counts of attempted murder.
The Second Appelate District determined that the trial court erred by instructing the jury on the kill zone theory of attempted murder, but found the error to be harmless. The bulk of Defendants' remaining issues pertained to alleged sentencing errors. The court agreed with Defendants that certain errors were made, instructed the trial court to amend the relevant abstracts of judgment, but otherwise affirmed Defendant's convictions and sentences.
