THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JAMES DAVID BECK and GERALD DEAN CRUZ, Defendants and Appellants.
[Modification of opinion (8 Cal.5th 584, 256 Cal.Rptr.3d 1, 453 P.3d 1038), upon denial of rehearing.]
THE COURT.—The opinion in this matter filed on December 2, 2019, and appearing at 8 Cal.5th 584 [256 Cal.Rptr.3d 1, 453 P.3d 1038], advance report, is modified as follows:
In the paragraph spanning pages 644 and 645, advance report, in the sentence beginning "We conclude there is no reasonable probability," the phrase "there is no reasonable probability Beck and Cruz were prejudiced by any error" is replaced by the phrase "the instructional error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt." As modified, the sentence now reads:
We conclude the instructional error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
This modification does not change the judgment.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
