P. v. Weathers CA5
Appellant/defendant Ernest Weathers was charged and convicted of assault by the personal use of a deadly weapon, a car, on Ronja Stanberry, his girlfriend (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)), based on evidence that he used his car to repeatedly hit the rear of Stanberry’s car. Stanberry lost control of her car, it went into a spin and hit a guardrail, and she suffered bruised ribs. Defendant was sentenced to three years, plus seven years for prior prison term enhancements (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).
On appeal, defendant raises numerous evidentiary and instructional issues. We will remand the matter for resentencing and otherwise affirm.
