PEOPLE v. CARLOS CORTEZ BURTON
Evidence was sufficient to support torture conviction where defendant attacked victim two days after she asked him to move out of her residence, caused deep cuts to victim's face that resulted in scarring and disfigurement, and had previously threatened to hurt and kill her numerous times. Evidence was sufficient to support misdemeanor child endangerment conviction where it showed that defendant knew his child was at the scene during the attack and, although the child did not witness the attack, he saw and was traumatized by seeing its bloody aftermath. Judgment Affirmed.
