EL PUEBLO DE PUERTO RICO VS MIRANDA BURGOS, LUIS A

Luis Alberto Miranda Burgos appeals a judgment from the Court of First Instance in Bayamón. He was convicted by a jury for a shooting incident on November 23, 2020. The convictions include two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, and two violations of the firearms law. These charges relate to shooting three individuals, resulting in two deaths and one injury. Mr. Miranda Burgos was sentenced to 129 years in prison. His appeal challenges the verdict, arguing the prosecution did not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. He contends the court erred by not applying self-defense or the Castle Doctrine. Other grounds for appeal involve alleged inconsistencies in evidence and investigation errors. The Court of Appeals is reviewing the case based on these arguments and the legal standards, starting with the burden of proof.
