P. v. Bailey
Defendant was convicted after court trial of elder or dependent adult abuse (Pen. Code, 368, subd. (b)(1)). After denying defendants motion for new trial and/or for reduction of the offense to a misdemeanor, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on probation for three years. In addition, the court ordered defendant to pay a court security fee of $20.
On appeal defendant contends that (1) there is insufficient evidence to support the conviction, (2) the court erroneously relied on evidence outside the record, (3) the court erroneously admitted hearsay statements by the victim, and (4) the courts imposition of the court security fee violated ex post facto principles and was an improper retroactive application of section 1465.8. Court disagree with all of these contentions and affirm the judgment.
