P. v. Banderos
Defendant Samuel Sauza Banderos appeals a judgment after a jury trial in which he was convicted of multiple crimes of domestic violence. In this appeal, defendant asserts there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for count 6, willfully inflicting corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon a cohabitant (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a)), because there was no evidence the victim actually sustained injury.
The judgment is modified to reduce the conviction in count 6 of inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant ( 273.5, subd. (a)) to simple battery on a cohabitant ( 242, 243, subd. (e)(1).) The matter is remanded to the superior court for resentencing.
