Opinion

COFFEE, J.

Appellant Silas Johnson was tried before a jury and convicted of first degree home invasion robbery in concert and second degree murder with a gang allegation. (Pen. Code, §§211, 213, subd. (a)(1)(A), 187, subd. (a), 189, 186.22, subd. (b).) In this appeal, he raises claims of prosecutorial misconduct and argues that the trial court erred when it imposed a 10-year gang enhancement on his 15-year-to-life prison sentence for second degree murder. We reject the first contention, but agree that the enhancement cannot be applied to a count carrying a life term.
