P. v. Strada CA5
On June 11, 2020, S.D. was at a residence with defendant and another individual. S.D. was in the bathroom while defendant was in the kitchen fixing a broken box cutter. As S.D. straightened her hair, defendant stood in the doorway of the bathroom and watched her. S.D. felt defendant come toward her. She backed up against the wall and noticed she was bleeding. S.D. collapsed to the floor “into a ball” and laid in a fetal position, yelling to the other individual in the residence for help.
As S.D. called 911, defendant fled the residence in a red truck. He was arrested at a motel the next day.
S.D. sustained a cut to her left facial nerve and her trachea. She spent three days in the hospital, underwent surgery, and received twenty-two staples to close the wound.
