The following excerpt is from People v. Bolden, B260188 (Cal. App. 2016):
In this matter, overwhelming evidence supports the jury's guilty first degree murder verdicts on counts 1 and 2 based on a felony murder theory, and the evidence in support of a lesser offense is minimal and not reasonably persuasive to the jury. (Banks, supra, 59 Cal.4th at p. 1161; People v. Lipscomb (1993) 17 Cal.App.4th 564, 570 ["'no evidence that the offense is less than or other than that charged.'"])
