P. v. Jackson CA2/7
Steven Jackson appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant, in the commission of which he personally used a deadly or dangerous weapon, a broom, and dissuading a witness from testifying. Jackson admitted a prior serious felony conviction, constituting a strike within the meaning of the three strikes law. On appeal, Jackson contends the trial court violated his constitutional right to self-representation by revoking his pro. per. status without adequate cause. Jackson also challenges the sentence enhancement for use of a deadly or dangerous weapon on the basis that the four-foot hollow plastic broom he used was not a deadly or dangerous weapon. He also contends that the trial court failed to instruct the jury on late discovery provided by the prosecution and that denial of his Pitchess motion was in error.
