P. v. Kassem
A jury convicted defendant Hasson Kassem of arson of an inhabited structure, but acquitted him of attempted murder. The trial court sentenced him to three years in state prison. Defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion when it denied his request for an Evidence Code section 402 hearing concerning the admissibility of a witness’s statements to a police officer.[1] We conclude the trial court correctly determined that defendant’s concern regarding the witness’s limited ability to speak English goes to the weight to be accorded the evidence, not its admissibility. We will affirm the judgment.
