People v. Guerrero CA5

FACTS

The report of the probation officer states the following: On April 17, 2011, a correctional officer at Wasco State Prison saw two inmates, appellant and Daniel Valenzuela, rush out of cell 221 and into cell 222. “Thereafter, [the officer] heard scuffling and screaming noises coming from cell 222.” Officers responded to cell 222 and saw appellant run out of the cell and “assume[] a prone position,” and Valenzuela, inside the cell, standing over the victim, Guadalupe Ortiz. According to a subsequently conducted medical evaluation, Ortiz “suffered a fractured left side sinus cavity and a laceration underneath the left eye requiring four sutures to close the wound.”
