P. v. Samoya CA6
A jury convicted defendant Mario Augusto Samayoa of various crimes for sexually abusing four girls over a nearly 20-year period. Defendant contends there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions on two of the charges because the victim’s trial testimony was inconsistent. He contends his convictions on two other charges should be reversed because there was insufficient evidence regarding use of force, and because the jury should have been instructed with a specialized definition of the term “force.” He asserts the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on several lesser included offenses. And he asks that the abstract of judgment be amended to remove duplicate entries of fines and fees. We find no prejudicial error and will affirm the judgment.
