P. v. Griffin
Appellant Nicky Griffin, married to the victim, Carolyn Jordan, was charged with inflicting corporal injury on a spouse (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)),[1] a felony, with attempted second degree robbery (§§ 664, 211) and with false imprisonment (§ 236). A jury found appellant guilty of the lesser included offense of misdemeanor battery on the first count and not guilty of attempted robbery. The jury deadlocked on the false imprisonment charge and the court declared a mistrial. Imposition of sentence was suspended and appellant was placed on probation, the condition being the time (194 days) served in county jail.[2] The court imposed various fines and assessments that are not at issue. The appeal is from the judgment.
The sole issue on appeal is whether the conviction is supported by substantial evidence.
