P. v. Alvarado CA5
Victor Alvarado appeals from his conviction for committing a lewd act on a child under the age of 14. He argues a confession the police obtained from him in this case was involuntary and was erroneously admitted into evidence, thereby violating his due process rights. He further argues evidence of a prior, uncharged sex offense was also erroneously admitted into evidence, again leading to a violation of due process. We reject both of these contentions. Alvarado finally argues the trial court erroneously ordered him to submit to an AIDS test. The People concede the issue. We will remand the matter for further proceedings in this regard, at the election of the prosecution. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
