P. v. Forest CA1/1
On November 8, 2006, Robert Forest pointed a handgun at Stanley Douglass. Forest was arrested the next day and charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon. (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(2).) Following a preliminary hearing, he was held to answer, and his motion to set aside the information was denied, but the case never went to trial. On January 18, 2008, the trial court granted the prosecution’s motion to dismiss the information for insufficient evidence. On October 7, 2008, Forest unsuccessfully applied to the superior court for a finding of factual innocence. (§ 851.8, subd. (c).) Defendant unsuccessfully appealed from that decision. In 2016, defendant unsuccessfully sought to vacate the superior court’s prior judgment denying his 2008 application by petitioning for a writ of coram nobis. He appeals the denial of that petition. We deny the petition on the merits.
