P. v. McGraw
Calvin McGraw appeals the judgment entered following his conviction by jury of (1) corporal injury to a former cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)),[1] with a special finding that appellant used a chair as a deadly weapon (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)), and personally inflicted great bodily injury (§ 12022.7, subd. (e)); and (2) assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), with a special finding of infliction of great bodily injury. Appellant waived jury on the prior conviction allegations and the trial court found them to be true. It sentenced appellant to an aggregate prison term of 22 years.
Appellant contends the trial court erred by finding no prima facie case of discrimination during voir dire, by failing to instruct the jury sua sponte with CALCRIM No. 850 and by denying appellant's motion to reopen the evidence. He further contends trial counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel by not objecting to inadmissible expert evidence as to the victim's credibility and by failing to request the CALCRIM No. 850 limiting instruction. We affirm.
