P. v. Brown
A jury convicted defendant Frederick Brown of corporal injury upon a cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a))[1] and misdemeanor child endangerment (§ 273a, subd. (b)). On appeal, defendant argues the child endangerment conviction must be reversed because the trial court inadequately responded to a jury question regarding endangerment of a child’s mental health. In the alternative, defendant contends the child endangerment conviction must be reversed because his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to request a clarifying instruction regarding endangerment of a child’s mental health. For the reasons set forth below, we will affirm.
