P. v. Carter CA1/2
On the night before Thanksgiving 2011, defendant Frank Earl Carter, III embarked on a deadly rampage during which he fatally stabbed Richard Stratton (the stepfather of defendant’s girlfriend), stabbed the family dog, and assaulted Stratton’s roommate and defendant’s own girlfriend. A jury found him guilty of second degree murder, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, and assault with a deadly weapon. On appeal, defendant asserts two arguments: the trial court committed reversible error by failing to instruct the jury on imperfect self-defense as a lesser included offense of murder, and there is no substantial evidence he assaulted Stratton’s roommate with force likely to produce great bodily injury. We disagree, and we affirm.
