P. v. Bettancourt
Defendant Roger Anthony Bettancourt[1] was convicted by a jury of forcible rape. On appeal, he argues that the judgment must be reversed because the court refused to instruct the jury on the defense of his reasonable but mistaken belief in the victim's consent to sexual intercourse, in accordance with People v. Mayberry (1975) 15 Cal.3d 143 (Mayberry). We find no error and therefore must affirm the judgment.
