P. v. Rabago CA4/1
A jury convicted Ramon Meza Rabago of making a criminal threat (Pen. Code, § 422), witness intimidation accompanied by force (§ 136.1, subd. (c)(1)), spousal battery (§ 243, subd. (e)(1)), and assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). In bifurcated proceedings, Rabago admitted one prison prior (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), two serious felony priors (§ 667, subd. (a)), and two strike priors (§§ 667, subd. (c), 1170.12, subd. (c)). The trial court dismissed one strike in the interest of justice under People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 and sentenced Rabago to a total term of 28 years in prison.
Rabago appeals. He contends the court erred by (1) allowing the victim to testify regarding Rabago's involvement in a prior fatal stabbing and (2) allowing a sheriff's deputy to testify regarding the behavior of domestic violence victims. We disagree with these contentions and therefore affirm.
