Description
Defendant Prentice Juan Snow appeals from a judgment imposing the death penalty following his conviction of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187; all further statutory references are to this code unless otherwise indicated), accompanied by a special circumstance finding (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(10) [killing a witness to prevent his testimony]) and a firearm-use finding (§ 12022.5). As will appear, we conclude that the entire judgment must be reversed for Wheeler error (People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal. 3d 258 [148 Cal. Rptr. 890, 583 P.2d 748]) that occurred during the jury selection process. In addition to discussing the Wheeler issue, we also, for guidance on retrial, reach one of defendant's other claims of error.
