P. v. Conrad CA2/5
A jury convicted defendant Ronnie Yearnell Conrad of torture, mayhem, corporal injury, methamphetamine possession, possession of cocaine base for sale, firearm possession by a felon and ammunition possession. Defendant’s torture, mayhem and corporal injury convictions rested on substantial evidence that in December 2012 he tortured his teenage girlfriend for several hours in a motel room. Law enforcement officers, acting on an anonymous phone tip, and without a warrant, entered the motel room, rescued the badly injured victim and seized multiple items of incriminating evidence. Defendant argues the unidentified informant’s tip was insufficiently corroborated as to criminal activity.
