P. v. Ward
Leslie Ligons and defendant Delanious Aubra Ward began as friends, but over time their relationship deteriorated. Defendant left numerous threatening messages on the phone Ligons shared with her longtime companion, James Dalbert. Defendant’s threats escalated and he made several trips to the couple’s home. Ultimately, defendant pulled a knife and began to tussle with Dalbert. Dalbert and Ligons both suffered stab wounds.
An information charged defendant with making criminal threats, misdemeanor vandalism, and assault with a deadly weapon. (Pen. Code, §§ 422, 594, subd. (a), 245, subd. (a)(1).)[1] The jury convicted defendant of all counts except misdemeanor vandalism. Sentenced to state prison for a determinate term of 65 years plus four consecutive terms of 25 years to life, defendant argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel, sentencing error, and erroneous calculation of custody credits. We shall affirm the judgment.
