The Motion to Sever Renteria filed a written motion to sever count one from count three arguing that count one involved the death of a sheriff’s deputy and was attracting media and police attention, whereas count three involved a “totally unrelated” incident and would involve “totally different witnesses.”5 The prosecution filed a written opposition to Renteria’s motion in which it argued that, as to both counts, gang evidence would provide

2025This fact strongly implies the court did not inform Renteria about section 3044 prior to custody mediation.9 Nonetheless, it is Renteria’s burden to establish reversible error. ( Jameson, supra, 5 Cal.5th at pp. 608-609.) He has not done so.

2014(See People v. Gutierrez, supra, 112 Cal.App.4th at p. 709 .) We disagree with Renteria that instructions on “the lesser offense” were required because “the prosecution [did] not put on any evidence of the victim’s injuries and no witness saw what happened inside the shower.” The extent of a victim’s injuries, if any, is not an element of the crime of attempted murder or attempted voluntary manslaughter.

1991That factor is whether the acts complained of were a ‘normal part of the employment relationship’ (Cole v.

National Mortgage & Land Co., supra, 189 Cal.App.3d at pp. 1428-1429, italics added.) Although Hart concluded workers’ compensation was not the exclusive remedy in that case, it did so not because of the Renteria test, but because the actionable conduct was not a “risk, an incident, [or] a normal part of Hart’s employment.” ( 189 Cal.App.

1991Cole rejected an analogous attempt to elevate pleading over substance, 18 and the Supreme Court has recently reaffirmed that “[wjorkers’ compensation jurisdiction may not be simply conferred or avoided at the option of the employee.” (Shoemaker v. Myers, supra, 52 Cal.3d at p. 19 .) The Renteria approach, therefore, is disfavored, since it elevates pleading over substance. 19 For all of these reasons, we conclude Horn’s failure to claim physical injury resulting from the termination does not exempt him from the exclu *670 sivity rule.
