Opinion
SCOTLAND, J.
After a jury convicted defendant of murder in the first degree (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189; all further references are to this code unless otherwise specified), the trial court modified the verdict to second degree murder pursuant to its authority under section 1181, subdivision 6. Defendant also was found to have used a firearm in the commission of the murder. (§ 12022.5.) The trial court sentenced defendant to the indeterminate term of 15-years-to-life and “stayed” the 2-year sentence imposed for the firearm use enhancement. Both defendant and the People have appealed.
