P. v. Harris
A jury convicted defendant of corporal abuse of a cohabitant and assault with a deadly weapon with enhancements. Sentenced to nine years in state prison, defendant contends on appeal the trial court abused its discretion in denying a continuance during trial so that the defense could attempt to obtain a statement from a potential witness; abused its discretion in excluding certain medical evidence related to the victims child; and committed judicial misconduct by improperly scolding the recanting victim for violating in limine orders, and allowing the prosecution to tell the jury that she failed to obey court orders to appear for trial. None of these contentions has merit. Court affirm the judgment.
