(a)), felony child endangerment ( 273a, subd. (a)), and assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury ( 245, subd. (a)(1)). He was sentenced to a combined unstayed prison term of 16 years and 4 months. On appeal, Fonua contends the trial court made numerous trial and sentencing errors. In a petition for writ of habeas corpus, which we consider along with the appeal, Fonua claims he was denied his right to the effective assistance of counsel. Court affirm the judgment and sentence and deny the writ petition.
