P. v. Johnson CA2/6
In July 2017, two men were skateboarding at a school. After one of the men did a backflip, James Patrick Johnson threatened to kill him. The two men walked away. Johnson followed and made punching gestures with his arms.
The prosecution charged Johnson with making criminal threats. (Pen. Code, § 422.) Johnson’s attorney declared a doubt as to his competency, and the trial court suspended criminal proceedings. (§ 1368.) When proceedings resumed, the prosecution amended the complaint to add a charge of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury. (§ 245, subd. (a)(4).) Johnson pled guilty to the assault charge. The court suspended imposition of sentence, and ordered Johnson to serve three years of formal probation.
