People v. Green CA2/2

BACKGROUND

An information was originally filed against defendant in March 2014 after a preliminary hearing. In November 2016 an amended information charged defendant and codefendants Ernest Lamont Williams, Thomas Woodson, and Anthony Boochee (also known as Tone) with the 1998 murder of Arlando Bryant (§ 187, subd. (a), count 1) and conspiracy to commit murder (§ 182, subd. (a)(1), count 2). The murder was alleged to be intentional and carried out for financial gain within the meaning of section 190.2, subdivision (a)(1). It was also alleged to be intentional and committed by means of lying in wait within the meaning of section 190.2, subdivision (a)(15). Both counts were alleged, pursuant to section 186.22, subdivision (b)(1), to have been committed for the benefit of a gang. In 2016, defendant entered into a plea agreement under which she pled no contest to voluntary manslaughter (§ 192, subd. (a)) and admitted the gang allegation. Defendant was sentenced to a total of 21 years in prison, comprised of 11 years for the voluntary manslaughter plus 10 years for the gang enhancement.
