Cheryl Lucero was convicted of the murder of Ricky Roberts, a local legend who participated in the Demolition Derby as a driver. The jury convicted her of first degree murder with the use of a fire arm. She was sentenced to fifty years to life.
Ricky was married and the two had had an affair. It was the first time she had been involved with someone who was "famous" in the area. She did not take the break up well.
Her appeal includes:
Cheryl Lynn Lucero was convicted of first degree murder with a firearm enhancement. She appeals the trial court's denial, during the jury selection proceeding, of several of her for-cause challenges to prospective jurors. She also challenges the trial court's admission of a number of hearsay statements made by the decedent victim. Finally, she raises claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and cumulative error. We reject all her contentions.
In light of Senate Bill No. 620, which took effect on January 1, 2018, after the sentencing in this matter, we will vacate Lucero's sentence and remand for resentencing under the amendments to applicable firearm enhancement statutes effected by this bill.
