For his role as the driver in a gang-related drive-by shooting, Fernando R. Matos was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, four counts of attempted first-degree homicide, intentionally discharging a firearm from a vehicle into a building, and four counts of intentionally discharging a firearm towards a person. He appeals from the judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that the jury view was conducted in violation of his right to confrontation, that his statement was the result of an unlawful arrest, that an anonymous jury was not necessary, and that evidence of gang affiliation should have been excluded because he offered to stipulate to gang membership.
We conclude that there was no reversible trial error and affirm the judgment and order.
This opinion will not be published.
