P. v. Medler
Following a jury trial, defendant Vernon Karl Medler was convicted of two counts of rape (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (a)(2)),[1] two counts of criminal threats (§ 422), corporal injury to a cohabitant (§ 273.5, subd. (a)), false imprisonment (§ 236), assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), and child endangerment (§ 273a, subd. (a)), with enhancements for personally using a deadly weapon (former § 12022, subd. (b)(1)). After initially sentencing defendant to 17 years in state prison, the trial court recalled the sentence to impose a 14-year term.
On appeal, defendant contends the suppression of a police video denied him a fair trial, and concurrent sentences on the corporal injury to a cohabitant, false imprisonment, and assault with a deadly weapon counts violated section 654. We shall affirm.
