What are the findings of an independent review of a jury's verdict on count 3 in a motor vehicle accident case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Sanchez, B263066 (Cal. App. 2016):

Appellant contends there was insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict on count 3 and asks us to conduct an independent review under Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess). We find no Pitchess error. However, we find that the prosecution did not prove all of the elements of count 3 because there was no evidence that the pursuing officer's motor vehicle was exhibiting a lighted red lamp visible from the front. We therefore reverse the judgment on count 3.
