P. v. Holton
A jury returned guilty verdicts against defendant John Holton on charges of dependent adult abuse, two counts of dissuading a witness, two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter, two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm with findings of personal use, making a criminal threat with a finding of personal use of a firearm, and domestic battery with corporal injury. The jury found defendant not guilty on two counts of making a criminal threat, and two counts of attempted murder. The court sentenced defendant to 10 years in prison.
We conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied defendant's motion to sever the trial of the charges on counts one through six against him relating to incidents on October 26, 2009 from charges seven through 12 relating to incidents on November 16, 2009. We affirm.
