P. v. Membreno CA2/3
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Santos Ernesto Cruz Membreno of two counts of sexual intercourse with a child 10 years old or younger, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, and three counts of forcible rape of a child under the age of 14. Cruz Membreno appeals, contending (1) the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress statements he made to a detective and a letter he wrote to the victim, both allegedly obtained in violation of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda), and (2) he is entitled to presentence custody credits. The latter contention has merit, but the former does not. Accordingly, we modify the judgment to award Cruz Membreno presentence custody credits and affirm the judgment in all other respects.
