P. v. Ridley CA4/1
Defendant Cody Ned Ridley was convicted of burglary, false imprisonment, making criminal threats, attempting to dissuade a victim, and violating protective orders, all perpetrated against his estranged wife, Jane Doe. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his convictions for attempting to dissuade a victim and for residential burglary. We find substantial evidence supports the jury's findings on both charges. Ridley also contends, and the People agree, that the trial court erred in excluding a prior inconsistent statement proffered by Ridley. We accept the People's concession and find that the error was harmless. We also address sentencing issues raised by the parties and order corrections.
