P. v. Sualez CA4/2
A jury convicted Oscar Sualez of one count of second degree robbery after hearing evidence he stole an antique fire hydrant from the victim’s front yard and struck the victim’s dog with the hydrant before absconding with his associates. Sualez appeals his conviction on four grounds, arguing: (1) there was insufficient evidence of force or fear; (2) People v. Estes (1983) 147 Cal.App.3d 23 was wrongly decided; (3) the accomplice liability instruction on natural and probable consequences was erroneous; and (4) the trial court violated his right to a fair trial by discouraging the jury from requesting testimony readbacks. We conclude none of these arguments has merit and affirm the judgment.
