P. v. Acosta
A jury convicted defendant Leonard Acosta, Jr., of corporal injury on a spouse resulting in a traumatic condition (count 1Pen. Code 273.5, subd. (a))[1]and assault with a deadly weapon (count 2 245, subd. (a)(1)). In a bifurcated proceeding thereafter, the court found true allegations that defendant had suffered two prior serious felony convictions and three prior strike convictions. The court sentenced defendant to an aggregate term of 35 years to life. On appeal, defendant makes two contentions: (1) the trial court erred in admitting evidence of defendants prior act of domestic violence, and (2) insufficient evidence supports the finding that defendant used a deadly weapon. Finding no error Court affirm the judgment in full.
