P. v. Fierro
jury convicted defendant Salvador Fierro, Jr., of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a knife (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1)),[1] on his parents and removing a telephone line ( 591, a misdemeanor), and acquitted him of their forcible false imprisonment ( 236, 237, subd. (a)). The trial court sentenced defendant to three years in state prison on the felonies (giving him credit for time served on the concurrent misdemeanor term).
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred in allowing the use of his prior felony conviction for assault ( 245) to impeach his parents opinion of him, and in denying a request for a continuance to review new evidence used to impeach his mother in rebuttal. Court shall affirm the judgment.
