The California Supreme Court heard oral argument today in People v. McDaniel. Donte McDaniel was convicted in 2009 of two brutal murders and attempted murder on two others. In 2004, McDaniel and his accomplice entered a woman’s Los Angeles apartment looking for a man who had stolen drugs from another member of the gang he belongs to, the Bounty Hunter Bloods (BHB).

He shot two other women in the apartment, not involved in the drug dispute, critically injuring them both and leaving them permanently disabled.
