P. v. Stevenson
Appellant Douglas Jerome Stevenson was convicted by jury of four counts of spousal abuse (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)),[1] and four counts of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). Deadly weapon use enhancements as to the spousal abuse charges (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)) were found to be true, and Stevenson admitted sentencing enhancements for prior felony convictions (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). He does not challenge here the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain those convictions, but argues that the trial court committed Marsden[2] error in failing to adequately inquire into his alleged presentence dissatisfaction with appointed counsel. We disagree and affirm.
