WOODS (Fred), J.
Convicted by jury of arson of a structure (Pen. Code, § 451, subd. (c); statutory references, unless otherwise noted, are to the Penal Code) and exploding a destructive device (§ 12303.3), appellants Donyell A. Bolden and Kevin L. Wesson contend the trial court: (1) committed Miranda error ( Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [ 16 L.Ed.2d 694 , 86 S.Ct. 1602 , 10 A.L.R.3d 974 ]); (2) committed Aranda error ( People v. Aranda (1965) 63 Cal.2d 518 [ 47 Cal. Rptr. 353 , 407 P.2d 265 ]) (3) admitted hearsay evidence; (4) failed to instruct on a lesser included offense; (5) wrongfully allowed the information to be amended; (6) misinstructed the jury on the elements of arson; and (7) miscalculated custody credits.
We find merit only in the last contention, modify the (Bolden) judgment accordingly, and affirm the judgments.
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 ].)
