P. v. Hardeman CA1/2
A jury found defendant Bobby Ray Hardeman guilty of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, and inflicting corporal injury upon the mother of his children for the second time within seven years. (Pen Code, §§ 245, subd. (a)(4), 273.5, subds. (a),(f)(1).) After the trial court found true allegations that defendant had three prior felony convictions (Pen Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)), it sentenced defendant to state prison for an aggregate term of six years. The major theme of defendant’s contentions on this timely appeal is that the jury was improperly exposed to evidence of his history of domestic violence. The minor theme is that the trial court erred in closing an avenue of impeaching the victim. We reject all of defendant’s contentions, and affirm.
