P. v. Multani CA2/3
The People charged appellant, Fahim Anthony Multani, in a single information, with various crimes of domestic violence against two former girlfriends, Georgina A. and Jennifer P. They alleged that Multani tortured Georgina while the couple dated and cohabitated in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, and that Multani tortured Jennifer and committed other crimes against her while they were cohabitating in 2012. At the trial, the People offered evidence that Multani also committed uncharged acts of domestic violence against a third woman, M.M., with whom he had a romantic relationship and cohabitated from 1998 to 2000.
At the conclusion of the trial, the jury acquitted Multani of the count involving Georgina. He now appeals from the judgment entered following his convictions on the following counts involving Jennifer: count 2 – torture (Pen. Code, § 206), count 6 – corporal injury to a fellow parent (§ 273.5, subd. (a)), and three counts of battery against a fellow parent.
