P. v. Diaz
Mark Anthony Diaz appeals from a judgment of conviction of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 (Pen. Code, 288.5, subd. (a))[1] (count one) and child endangerment ( 273a, subd. (b)) (count four). ( 1237, subd. (a).) The jury also found true two special allegations alleged as to count one. ( 1203.066, subds. (a)(1) and (a)(8).) The crimes occurred while defendant was babysitting L., the minor victim, in her home.
On appeal, defendant raises claims of insufficiency of the evidence as to count one, instructional error as to the allegation under section 1203.066, subdivision (a)(1), error in denying a motion for mistrial, and ineffective assistance of counsel. In addition, defendant asks court to review a sealed record to determine whether it contains any relevant, non-privileged information that should have been turned over to the defense.
