P. v. Gonzalez
On April 28, 2006, defendant Felipe Jesus Gonzalez was convicted at jury trial of inflicting corporal injury on his spouse, Jeanina, violating a protective order resulting in physical injury to her in doing so, and aggravated sexual assault predicated on sexual penetration by a foreign object by force on his then 14 year old step daughter, Elena. Defendant was sentenced to 15 years to life for the sexual assault with a consecutive three year prison term for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse. On appeal, defendant claims he was denied a fair trial because of procedural, evidentiary, and instructional errors that tilted the outcome in the prosecutions favor in what, otherwise, was a close case. The judgment is affirmed.
