P. v. Lopez
A jury convicted appellant Jorge Leon Lopez of assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1); count 1), criminal threat (Pen. Code, 422; count 2) and false imprisonment (Pen. Code, 236; count 3). The court imposed the four-year upper term on count 1, and concurrent three-year terms on each of counts 2 and 3.
On appeal, appellant contends the court erred in excluding evidence of the complaining witnesss conduct evincing moral turpitude under Evidence Code section 352 and impermissibly curtailed appellants right under the California and United States Constitutions to confront and cross-examine that witness. Court affirm.
