P. v. Clarke
Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of 14 felony counts of committing a lewd act upon his stepdaughter M., a child under the age of 14 (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a)), and one count of attempting a lewd act (Pen. Code, 664, 288, subd. (a)). Defendant was sentenced to a total term of 33 years in state prison.
Defendant contends that the trial court erred in allowing evidence of defendants uncharged child molestations to be admitted under Evidence Code section 1108 for the purpose of demonstrating defendants propensity to commit such crimes. For reasons that Court explain, Court conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion and therefore Court affirm the judgment.
