P. v. Guerrero
Defendants, Charlie Royce Kephart and Steven Guerrero, appeal from their convictions for battery with serious bodily injury. (Pen. Code,[1] 243, subd. (d).) Mr. Kephart also appeals from his conviction for mayhem. ( 203.) Mr. Kephart argues: the prosecutor improperly cross-examined Mr. Guererro; the trial court improperly excluded evidence of the violent nature of the victim, Roger Sebastian Kreszchuk; the trial court should have allowed two witnesses to testify as to the effect of a choke hold; the evidence was insufficient; and there was instructional error. Mr. Guerrero raises a sufficiency of the evidence contention and an instructional error argument. Defendants adopt each others arguments. Court affirm.
