P. v. Wood CA3
A jury found defendant Stanton Troy Wood guilty on three counts of committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14 years. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a).) The trial court sentenced him to an aggregate term of eight years in prison.
Defendant now contends his convictions must be reversed because trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance during closing argument. He claims he was prejudiced by counsel’s deficient performance in rejecting his theory that there was a conspiracy between his former girlfriend and the victim to set him up on false charges. Finding no merit in defendant’s contention, we will affirm the judgment.
