P. v. Umstead
Defendant William Thomas Umstead appeals from judgment entered following jury convictions for committing corporal injury on the mother of his child (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (e)(1)[1]; count 1), and making criminal threats (§ 422; count 2). The jury also found true that defendant had two prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), had been convicted of a prior serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)), and had a strike prior (§§ 667, subds. (c) & (e)(1), 1170.12). The trial court sentenced defendant to 11 years in prison.
Defendant contends there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for making unlawful criminal threats because the alleged threat was a conditional statement. We conclude the evidence was sufficient to establish the threat was unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific. The judgment is affirmed.
