P. v. Lottes
Appellant was convicted of battery resulting in serious bodily injury. The victim of the crime testified that appellant hit her on the head and slashed her with a knife. Appellant contends the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury that it needed to reach unanimous agreement as to which of these acts constituted the battery. Appellant also contends that the trial court should not have permitted the victim to testify about having been hit on the head, because this evidence was not presented at the preliminary hearing. Finally, appellant contends that the trial court should have stricken a witness’s comments comparing appellant’s appearance to that of Charles Manson, because they were more prejudicial than probative. We find no error warranting reversal of appellant’s conviction, and therefore affirm.
