The following excerpt is from People v. Street, B267285 (Cal. App. 2017):
The jury found both true. Reading the verdict form in light of the jury instructions and the prosecutor's argument as to both theories, we conclude the jury found true both that the murder was felony murder and that it was first degree murder on the alternative theory of deliberation and premeditation. (See People v. Jackson (2014) 58 Cal.4th 724, 750-751 [technical defect in verdict form may be disregarded where jury's intent to convict of a specific offense is clear].)
