P. v. Farooqi
Defendant Pashtoon Farooqi appeals from a judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of false imprisonment by violence, assault, and two counts of sexual battery. Defendant admitted he had been previously convicted of a serious and violent felony within the meaning of Penal Code section 667, subdivisions (d) and (e) and section 1170.12, subdivisions (b) and (c)(1). Defendant contends the trial court erred by (1) admitting evidence of defendants prior sexual offenses under Evidence Code section 1108 (all further statutory references are to the Evidence Code unless otherwise specified); (2) instructing the jury with a modified version of CALCRIM No. 1191, which he argues violated his due process rights and unconstitutionally lessened the prosecutions burden of proof; and (3) miscalculating defendants presentence custody credits. Court affirm.
