People v. Salazar

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, all based on theory of accountability. Evidence supported jury's guilty verdicts, as it was clear from testimony that Defendant piloted his vehicle in manner to aid in commission of shooting and kept vehicle in a stationary position until firearm was emptied while passenger fired semiautomatic weapon, firing each round individually, 11 separate times. Jury could infer that Defendant, after piloting vehicle to put passenger in a good position to shoot at victims in vehicle, waited till shooting was over before fleeing the scene. Jury instruction for attempted murder was not confusing or misleading, as there were two attempted murder charges involving two different victims whose names were listed on the instruction. (BURKE and HUTCHINSON, concurring.)
