P. v. Davis CA1/5
A jury convicted Anthony Davis of several felonies, including inflicting corporal injury on a woman with whom he had a dating relationship (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)) and criminal threats (§ 422). The trial court found Davis’s prior convictions true, denied his new trial motion, and sentenced him to state prison.
Davis appeals. He claims the court erred by: (1) instructing the jury on flight after crime (CALCRIM No. 372); (2) eliminating a factor from the jury instruction on evaluating witness credibility (CALCRIM No. 226); (3) failing to adequately inquire “whether he wished to be present” on the first day of trial testimony; and (4) denying his new trial motion. Davis also argues cumulative errors require reversal.
