P. v. Sanchez
Defendant and appellant Adrian P. Sanchez (defendant) was convicted of
two counts of a lewd act upon a child (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)[1]), kidnapping (§ 207, sub. (a)), unlawful sexual intercourse (§ 261.5, subd. (d)), aggravated sexual assault of a child (rape) (§ 269, subd. (a)(1)), sodomy in violation of (§ 286, subd. (c)(2)(c)), and sexual penetration upon a child (§ 289, subd. (a)(1)(C)(5)). On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred in instructing the jury with CALCRIM Nos. 1111, 1000, 1030 and 1045; denied his constitutional right to due process and a fair trial by refusing his request for a pinpoint instruction on his propensity to act in a certain manner; and denied his constitutional due process rights by denying his motion for a new trial because law enforcement officers interfered with defense efforts to contact witnesses before trial. We affirm the judgment of conviction.
