C.A. 1st;
A138649

The First Appellate District affirmed a judgment of conviction and sentence as modified. The court held that, in the absence of any evidence to support the defendant’s claims of imperfect self-defense and justifiable homicide, the trial court did not err in declining to instruct the jury on these theories. The court held further that any error in the imposition of a sentence that denied the teenaged defendant a meaningful opportunity for parole was cured by Penal Code §3051.
