P. v. Lopez
Defendant Kristina Dawn Lopez appeals a judgment resulting from her conviction after trial of torture (Pen. Code, 206) ; robbery ( 211); assault my means of force likely to cause great bodily injury ( 245, subd. (a)(1)); false imprisonment ( 236); kidnapping ( 207, subd. (a)); and assault with a firearm ( 245, subd. (a)(2)). Lopez committed the crimes with her codefendant, Jerry Michael Bitney, who was also convicted during their joint trial, and filed a separate appeal in this court. Defendant asserts she was denied her due process rights due to prosecutorial misconduct, and that the trial court erred in denying her motion for a mistrial.
