P. v. Odero CA4/2
Odero was born in Kenya in 1965 and came to the United States in 2001. On June 22, 2002, police responded to a domestic violence call to find Odero’s wife, D.O., with a laceration on her forehead. The police report stated that Odero and his wife were on the verge of divorcing, and she asked him to move out. He struck her, lacerating her forehead, and then got a knife from the kitchen and threatened to kill her. Odero was restrained by a family member, allowing D.O. to escape. Odero was arrested and charged with one felony count of domestic violence (§ 273.5, subd. (a)), one felony count of criminal threats (§ 422), and one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon by means likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)).
