P. v. Balltezegar
A jury convicted defendant, Clarence Balltezegar, Jr., of inflicting corporal injury on his spouse, having previously been convicted of the same offense (Pen. Code, § 273.5).[1] In bifurcated proceedings, defendant admitted having suffered a prior conviction for which he served a prison term. (§ 667.5, subd. (b).) He was sentenced to prison for five years and appeals, claiming the jury was improperly instructed. We reject his contention and affirm.
