California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cedano, B282530 (Cal. App. 2018):

her foot on the brake pedal, the car engine was still running, and the music was on. This evidence supports a finding that, once they stopped under the bridge, defendant immediately ambushed his vulnerable and unsuspecting victim from a position of advantage inside her car and shot her before she could escape or defend herself. (People v. Jurado, supra, 38 Cal.4th at p. 120.)
