P. v. Otto CA3
A jury found defendant Russell Wayne Otto guilty of committing multiple felony sex crimes against two minors. The trial court sentenced him to an aggregate term of nine years four months in prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court prejudicially erred when it did not allow him to impeach a prosecution witness with prior misdemeanor convictions. Anticipating that he may have forfeited this claim with respect to the witness’s conviction for spousal battery, defendant alternatively argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Defendant further contends that the trial court prejudicially erred in discharging Juror No. 6 during deliberations. We affirm the judgment.
