California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Verdugo, 257 Cal.Rptr.3d 510, 44 Cal.App.5th 320 (Cal. App. 2020):

Verdugo was convicted in 2006 following a jury trial of first degree murder ( 187, subd. (a), 189), conspiracy to commit murder ( 182, subd. (a)(1), 187) and two other felonies. The jury also found true special firearm-use and criminal street gang enhancement allegations. Verdugo was sentenced to an aggregate state prison term of 57 years 8 months to life. We affirmed the convictions on appeal but modified Verdugos sentence to correct several unauthorized provisions. (People v. Barraza (June 17, 2008, B194415) [nonpub. opn.].)
