P. v. Girard
Robert A. Girard appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him on three counts of committing a lewd or lascivious act on a child under the age of 14, (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a))[1]and one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child. ( 288.5, subd. (a).) He contends (1) the trial court erred when it excluded from evidence portions of a pretrial statement that he made, while the court allowed the prosecutor to offer other portions; (2) the court erred when it admitted evidence that he had committed a prior similar sexual offense; (3) the prosecutor committed misconduct during final argument; and (4) the sentence he received constituted cruel and unusual punishment. Court conclude the court did not commit any prejudicial errors and will affirm.
