P. v. Contreras
Christana Marie Contreras appeals from the judgment after a jury convicted her of felony child endangerment (Pen. Code, § 273a, subd. (a)),[1] bringing drugs into a jail (§ 4573), and transporting methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a)). With respect to child endangerment, the jury found a special allegation that she permitted her two-year-old daughter, Isabella, to suffer unjustifiable physical pain and injury that was likely to, and did result in death, to be true. (§ 12022.95.) The jury acquitted appellant of being an accessory after the fact to child endangerment by harboring, concealing or aiding codefendant, Robert Anthony Garcia, Jr. (§ 32.)[2] The court sentenced appellant to nine years in state prison. Appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the child endangerment conviction and argues that the court committed reversible error by denying her severance motion. Court affirm.
