FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION FIVE
THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent, A166990 v. CHRISTIAN FUENTES, (San Mateo County Defendant and Appellant. Super. Ct. No. 17-SF-013004-A)
A jury found Christian Fuentes guilty of first degree murder and true special circumstance of lying in wait. Fuentes argues insufficient evidence supported one element of the lying-in-wait special circumstance—the requirement that there be a substantial period of watching and waiting for an opportune time to act. We disagree and affirm.
