P. v. Jackson CA6
A jury convicted defendant Ken Jay Jackson of criminal threats (Pen. Code, § 422), and the trial court sentenced defendant to a 16-month prison term.
On appeal, defendant contends the jury instruction regarding his right to self-defense was improper because it referenced his “use of force” rather than his use of a threat. Defendant contends that if he forfeited the error by failing to request the instruction be modified at trial, his trial counsel was ineffective. For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the judgment.
