P. v. Issa
A jury convicted Amier Rocky Issa of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4))[1] and found true he personally inflicted great bodily injury (§ 12022.7, subd. (e)) using a deadly weapon (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(23)). On appeal, Issa asserts the court erred by (1) ordering him to pay probation costs without a hearing to determine his ability to pay or sufficient evidence of his ability to pay, and (2) denying his motion for a new trial using a preponderance of the evidence standard to determine whether he was competent during trial.
