P. v. Fishman
Convicted of burglary, attempted false imprisonment, unlawful use of tear gas, and possession of a deadly weapon, defendant Udi Fishman appeals, contending the trial court erred by: (1) improperly excluding certain impeachment evidence; (2) refusing to disclose certain e-mails one of the victims sent on her employer’s computer system; and (3) failing to provide the jury with a unanimity instruction on the burglary charge. Finding no merit in any of defendant’s arguments, we affirm.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Juan Trejo first met defendant in 1998, when defendant solicited a bid from Juan to build a 340-foot-long retaining wall on defendant’s property in Los Gatos.[1] After Juan built the wall, he continued to do various work for defendant over the years. In 2006, he rebuilt the wall after a big part of it collapsed. Juan and defendant thereafter were involved in litigation involving an engineering firm and the manufacturers of the stone used in the wall. The litigation ultimately settled in 2009, with Juan receiving $540,000 and defendant receiving $290,000. (The money paid to Juan was apparently for amounts defendant owed him for rebuilding the wall.)
