P. v. Craft
This case comes to us pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Having reviewed the record as required by Wende, we affirm the judgment.
We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)
Defendant John Kenneth Craft was friends with Timothy Hilley.[1] He invited Hilley to stay in his home and Hilley stole property from defendant and his friends. Defendant tracked Hilley down and brought him to David Forester’s house. Over the course of several hours, Forester and defendant beat Hilley. Forester hit Hilley repeatedly, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious, and defendant kicked Hilley in the face several times. Hilley regained consciousness and tried to run away. Defendant and Forester caught Hilley, dragged him back to Forester’s home and continued to beat him. Eventually, Hilley was able to escape. As a result of the beating, Hilley suffered a lacerated spleen, internal bleeding, broken ribs, facial fractures, a severe hematoma in the bowel area and mild renal failure.
