P. v. Peterson
A jury found defendant Charles Peterson guilty of two counts of engaging in oral copulation with a minor; soliciting a minor to use a controlled substance; two counts of providing lewd material to a minor; inducing false testimony; four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor; possessing methamphetamine; possessing clonazepam; possessing an unlawful smoking device, and possessing marijuana. Defendant was sentenced to an aggregate term of ten years in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends that statements he made to a psychotherapist as a condition of probation were involuntary and, thus, the trial court erred in ruling the statements could be used to impeach defendant if he testified at trial after his plea was set aside. He also claims, among other things, that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for possessing clonazepam.
