P. v. Bradshaw CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Dannie Michael Bradshaw repeatedly threatened a mixed-race family that lived across the street from him. One morning, he tried to run the wife off of the road, then he threatened to kill the husband. Defendant’s threats were witnessed by a neighbor, as well as defendant’s daughter. While out on bail for making criminal threats, defendant threatened and dissuaded his daughter from testifying.
Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of two counts of making criminal threats (Pen. Code, § 422; counts 1 & 2) and one count of dissuading a witness from attending and giving testimony at trial (§ 136.1, subd. (a)(2); count 3). In a bifurcated proceeding, defendant admitted that he committed count 3 while he was released from custody on counts 1 and 2 (§ 12022.1). Defendant was sentenced to a total term of six years. However, his sentence was suspended and he was placed on formal probation for a period of 60 months on various terms and conditions.
