P. v. Guzman CA2/6
A jury convicted Carlos Miguel Guzman of kidnapping (Pen. Code, § 207, subd. (a); count 1) and corporal injury to his girlfriend (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a); count 2). Guzman admitted that he was on bail at the time he committed the offenses (Pen. Code, § 12022.1, subd. (b)).
Guzman argues that his kidnapping conviction should be reversed because the trial court’s admission of the victim’s statements to police officers violated his right to confrontation and due process. He also argues that the court erred in failing to give a necessity instruction, that defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object to the admission of Guzman’s jail phone call with his friend, and that there was cumulative error. We affirm.
