P. v. Guerrero-Jasso CA4/3
A jury convicted Joel Guerrero-Jasso of four counts of sexual assault against his two minor daughters, found true special multiple victim allegations, and the trial court sentenced him to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 55 years to life plus a concurrent three-year determinate term. On appeal, Guerrero-Jasso claims the trial court prejudicially erred by admitting his postarrest statements to police, in violation of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda).
Because his Miranda advisement was in English, and English is not his native language, he maintains the advisement was faulty, his waiver was therefore involuntary, and the trial court’s admission of his subsequent statements to police was reversible error. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
