P. v. Gaskin
A jury found defendant Derrell Lamar Gaskin guilty of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury. The jury also found defendant had inflicted great bodily injury on the victim. The trial court sentenced defendant to 15 years in state prison.
Defendant appeals contending the court should have suspended the proceedings and re-evaluated his mental state based on his trial testimony and the testimony of an expert witness. He also contends the sentence imposed constituted an abuse of the court’s discretion. We disagree with both contentions and affirm the judgment.
