Supreme Court of California

Court of Appeals judgment holding there was insufficient evidence to convict the nonshooting defendants is reversed where there is substantial evidence to support the murder and attempted murder convictions of the defendants and a rational trier of fact could have concluded that the shooting death of the victim was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the assault.
