P. v. Ji CA2/7
A jury convicted Eunsung Ji of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend. Ji appeals, arguing the trial court erred in admitting evidence of a prior incident of domestic violence under Evidence Code section 1109. We conclude the argument is forfeited and meritless.
The jury also convicted Ji of the lesser included offense of false imprisonment. We agree with Ji and the People’s concession that the conviction must be reversed. Finally, the jury convicted Ji of making a criminal threat. We agree with Ji and the People’s concession that, when the trial court stayed execution of sentence for that conviction under Penal Code section 654, the court should not have ordered Ji to serve that sentence concurrently.
