People v. Henderson

Defendant Michelle Denise Henderson was convicted by jury of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211) and assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(2)). Sentence on the robbery conviction was enhanced for committing the felony while armed with a firearm (Pen. Code, § 12022, subd. (a)). Defendant was acquitted of attempted murder. (Pen. Code, § 187.)

On appeal the defendant contends that the trial court erred in that: (1) the aiding and abetting jury instruction given failed to insure a finding of spe *1007 cific intent, (2) the defendant was consecutively sentenced on two legally indivisible crimes, (3) a special jury instruction that specified factors to be considered in deciding whether reasonable doubt as to identity existed was rejected, (4) defendant was prejudicially cross-examined about her presence at a burglary to which her alibi witness pleaded guilty, and (5) relevant details about the prior conviction of a defense witness and evidence about other robberies in which the witness was allegedly involved were excluded.
