P. v. Green CA1/2
Defendant Jahton Green, who had previously served a nearly six-year prison term for assaulting and robbing a 68-year-old woman, was found guilty of committing two counts of second degree robbery (the victims being 63 and 76 years old) and one count of elder abuse. He asserts four arguments on appeal: (1) the trial court prejudicially questioned him on cross-examination, depriving him of due process and a fair trial; (2) the trial court unconstitutionally lowered the prosecution’s burden of proof when it sustained objections to defense counsel’s argument concerning reasonable doubt; (3) the restitution and parole revocation fines imposed by the court exceeded the statutory maximum; and (4) a $250 probation investigation fee was improperly imposed.
