P. v. Guevara
Appellant Ricardo Guevara was convicted in 2004 of various crimes arising from his threats to and assaults on his girlfriend Olivia H. He appealed from that judgment of conviction, contending, inter alia, that the admission of a tape and transcript of a 911 call concerning his stabbing of Olivia violated his rights under the Confrontation Clause of the United States Constitution, as set forth in Crawford v. Washington (2004) 541 U.S. 36 ("Crawford."). Court found no error in the admission of the 911 call and affirmed the judgment of conviction. The California Supreme Court denied appellant's petition for review of his Crawford claim. The United States Supreme Court granted appellant's petition for writ of certiorari, then remanded the case to this Court for reconsideration in light of Davis v. Washington (2006) 547 U.S. [126 S.Ct. 2266] ("Davis").
Court reconsider appellant's claim that the 911 call violated his right to confrontation and find no reversible error. Court affirm the judgment of conviction.
