P. v. Woolever CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Michael Alan Woolever of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)) and further found that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victims (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). Defendant was granted five years’ probation with one of the terms requiring him to serve 365 days in county jail for which he was given credit for time served. (§ 1203, subds. (e)(2), (f).) Defendant appeals, contending the record lacks substantial evidence supporting either conviction because the prosecution failed to prove he was not acting in lawful self-defense. Specifically, defendant contends the record lacks substantial evidence that the force used by him was excessive in relation to the threatened harm.
