Meraz

*1165 Opinion

Codefendants Juan Ramon Meraz, Juan M. Chambasis, and Victor Bibiano separately appeal their convictions and sentences for murder, attempted murder, and discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling following a gang-related shooting that killed two victims and seriously injured a third. We previously affirmed the judgments with certain corrections to their sentences. Our high court granted review and transferred the case to us for reconsideration of defendants’ confrontation clause challenges to the gang expert’s testimony in light of People v. Sanchez (2016) 63 Cal.4th 665 [ 204 Cal.Rptr.3d 102 , 374 P.3d 320 ] (Sanchez). In the published portion of this opinion, we conclude reversal is not warranted under Sanchez , so we once again affirm the judgments as modified.
