v.

TERRELL LAW,

Defendant and Appellant.

The County of Riverside

No. E072845

(Super.Ct.No. RIF100589)

 

California Courts of Appeal

Fourth Appellate District

Division Two

Filed May 13, 2020

 

THE COURT

 

We deny appellant Terrell Law's petition for rehearing and modify the opinion filed in this matter on April 27, 2020 by inserting the following language to part II.B, section 2, at the top of page 19, in between the parenthetical ending with "crime only" and the sentence "Law's conduct is clearly distinguishable":

 

(See, e.g., In re Miller, supra, 14 Cal.App.5th at p. 965 [defendant played the role of "spotter" who would select the robbery target and was not at the scene of the robbery/murder]; In re Bennett (2018) 26 Cal.App.5th 1002, 1019 [defendant was involved in planning the robbery but was not at the scene of the murder]; Ramirez, supra, 32 Cal.App.5th at p. 404 [defendant acted as getaway driver and was not at the scene of the murder]; In re Taylor (2019) 34 Cal.App.5th 543, 559 [same].)

 

Except for this modification, which does not affect the judgment, the opinion remains unchanged.
