P. v. Benitez
Appellant Gregorio Benitez appeals from the judgment following a jury trial in which he was convicted of four felony counts of lewd acts upon a child under 14 years (counts 1, 2, 3, and 5) (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)).[1] The jury found true the allegation that appellant personally inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim, his stepdaughter who became pregnant (§ 667.61, subds. (b) & (e)). The trial court sentenced appellant to a total of 21 years to life, consisting of 15 years to life on count 5 (principal count), and consecutive terms of two years each on the remaining three counts. Appellant contends there was insufficient evidence to support the finding of great bodily injury. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
