P. v. Dominguez
This is an appeal from the judgment entered after a jury convicted appellant Renaldo D. Dominguez on 19 counts of sexual abuse crimes against children. Appellant challenges his conviction on the grounds that the trial court erred by: (1) dismissing a juror from duty during deliberations based upon the jurors alleged acts of misconduct; (2) admitting evidence of appellants commission of other uncharged sexual abuse crimes against children; and (3) imposing a fine against him pursuant to Penal Code section 290.3, subdivision (a), in an erroneous amount and without first establishing his financial ability to pay it.
For the reasons set forth below, we remand the matter to the trial court for reconsideration of its decision to impose a fine against appellant pursuant to section 290.3. In all other regards, however, Court affirm the judgment.
