Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction entered after defendant was found guilty by a jury of two counts of first degree murder, one count of second degree murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189),*fn1 and assault with intent to commit murder (former § 217, repealed by Stats. 1980, ch. 300, § 2, p. 628). The jury additionally found that defendant used a firearm in the commission of the murders (§ 12022.5), and it found to be true the alleged "special circumstance" that defendant committed multiple murders (§ 190.2). The prosecution having declined to seek the death penalty, defendant waived jury trial of the penalty phase of the proceeding, and was sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole for one conviction of murder with special circumstances. Sentences on the remaining counts were ordered to run concurrently and merged with the life sentence. The jury found the defendant sane.
