P. v. Kao
A jury convicted defendant Weili Kao of three counts of corporal injury to a child (counts two through four) and one count of willful harm to a child (count five) as the result of defendants physical assault upon her stepdaughter, T.L. (Pen. Code, 273a, subd. (a), 273d, subd. (a); further section references are to the Penal Code.) The jury also found that defendant inflicted great bodily injury in the commission of counts two and three, and that she used a deadly or dangerous weapon in the commission of count four. ( 12022, subd. (b)(1), 12022.7, subds. (a) & (b).) It was unable to reach a verdict on the charge that defendant tortured T.L. within the meaning of section 206.
Defendant was sentenced to an aggregate term of 16 years and 4 months in state prison. On appeal, she challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and raises various sentencing errors.
On October 23, 2006, Court affirmed the judgment.
