People v. Font
Opinion
Opinion
Woods, J.
Appellant Maurice Desi Font was tried with codefendants Glover and Hines for second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211). A jury convicted appellant and found true a firearm allegation (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)) but was unable to reach verdicts regarding codefendants Glover and Hines. Appellant contends the prosecutor committed Griffin (Griffin v. California (1965) 380 U.S. 609 [ 14 L.Ed.2d 106 , 85 S.Ct. 1229 ]) error and the firearm finding cannot be sustained because no such finding was made regarding the codefendants.
We reject appellant’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
Factual Background
There being no insufficiency of evidence claim, the facts may be stated simply. Our perspective favors the judgment. (People v. Barnes (1986) 42 Cal.3d 284, 303-304 [ 228 Cal.Rptr. 228 , 721 P.2d 110 ].)
This “follow-home” robbery began about 2:30 a.m., June 7, 1993, when the victim, Rubik Akbire, left the Commerce Casino Card Club in the City of Commerce. He was followed by appellant, Glover, and Hines with Hines driving his dark, older, four-door Lincoln Continental with a leather top. Glover was the front passenger and appellant the right rear passenger.
