Description
A jury convicted Gerald Frank Stanley of the first degree murder of Cindy Rogers Stanley (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189)*fn1 (count I), arson of an inhabited dwelling ( § 451) (count II) and burglary of an inhabited trailer coach ( § 459) (count III). The jury also found that defendant personally used a firearm in the commission of the murder. ( § 12022.5.) The jury found true the special circumstance allegations that defendant committed the murder while lying in wait ( § 190.2, subd. (a)(15)) and for the purpose of preventing the victim's testimony as a witness in a criminal proceeding ( § 190.2, subd. (a)(10)). In a separate proceeding the jury also found true the special circumstance allegation that defendant had previously been convicted of second degree murder. ( § 190.2, subd. (a)(2).) Pursuant to the parties' waiver of jury trial, the court found true the allegation that defendant had served a prior prison term and had not remained free of prison custody for five years without commission of another felony offense resulting in a conviction. ( § 667.5, subd. (b).) Following a competency trial ( § 1369) at which the jury found defendant mentally competent, the jury returned a verdict of death; the court entered judgment accordingly. This appeal is automatic. ( § 1239, subd. (b).)
