P. v. Partida
Francisco Partida broke into a San Francisco womans apartment one June evening and sexually assaulted her at knifepoint for almost three hours. A jury convicted him of burglary and multiple sexual offenses, and he was sentenced to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life imprisonment plus consecutive sentences totaling an additional 12 years 8 months imprisonment. In this appeal, Partida claims the trial court erred in denying his pretrial motion pursuant to People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 and deprived him of his federal due process rights by excluding expert testimony that he suffered from a neurological disorder. Court affirm the judgment.
