P. v. Verduzco CA1/3
Defendant Nestor Alfonso Verduzco repeatedly stabbed his friend Luis Torres during a drunken brawl. Defendant claimed he acted in self-defense. The jury rejected his defense and convicted him of attempted second degree murder with personal use of a deadly weapon and infliction of great bodily harm. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 664, 12022, subd. (b)(1), 12022.7, subd. (a).) He is serving an 11-year prison sentence. Defendant contends the trial court erred in admitting evidence that defendant once threatened to stab another man. (Evid. Code, § 1101, subd. (b).) He also asserts prosecutorial misconduct for displaying during closing argument a photograph of defendant’s bloody handprint. We shall affirm the judgment.
