California Supreme Court
The People, Plaintiff and Respondent v. Rodrigo Perez, Defendant and Appellant — Werdegar, J., Concurring
July 29, 201050 Cal. 4th 222
Summary
Justice Werdegar concurred in the judgment and agreed that a single handgun discharge was insufficient to support more than one attempted-murder conviction. She rejected the majority's effort to distinguish an earlier decision, arguing that a single shot cannot support multiple convictions absent evidence that the defendant intended to kill multiple victims and that the shot ordinarily could have killed more than one person. She would have overruled the earlier decision rather than distinguished it.
