P. v. Galicia
Defendant and appellant Miguel Galicia was charged by information with three counts of forcible lewd act upon a child (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (b)(1)), one count of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), one count of corporal injury to cohabitant (§ 273.5, subd. (a)), and one count of making criminal threats (§ 422). A jury convicted defendant of one count of forcible lewd act on a child, assault, and corporal injury to a cohabitant. Defendant was sentenced to seven years in state prison. Defendant’s sole contention on appeal is that his conviction on count 3 (forcible lewd act on a child) must be reversed because the trial court improperly admitted prejudicial hearsay evidence under the “fresh-complaint†doctrine. We find no evidentiary error and affirm.
