P. v. Williams CA4/2
Defendant Lamont Dion Williams challenges his convictions in two separate cases. In case No. RIF1500859, he was convicted of four counts of inflicting corporal injury upon a spouse or cohabitant. He contends the trial court erred in failing to grant his motion for mistrial after a witness referred to his history of committing acts of violence against the victim, and that his conviction for simple assault must be reversed because it is a lesser included offense of his willful infliction of corporal injury conviction. In case No. RIF1500899, defendant was convicted of possessing methamphetamine in jail. He asserts that the trial court should have instructed the jury on the lesser included offense of simple possession, and it improperly stayed three of his prison prior enhancements when it should have stricken them. We agree that the conviction for simple assault must be reversed, and that the prison prior enhancements must be stricken. Otherwise, we affirm.
