P. v. Pangus CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant, Richard Dean Pangus, of assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)) and violating a protective order (Pen. Code, § 273.6, subd. (a)). The protective order at issue protected J.P., defendant’s former girlfriend and the victim in the assault count. The jury found defendant not guilty of willfully inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)), and the court declared a mistrial on the lesser included offense of battery (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (e)) when the jury deadlocked on it. The court sentenced defendant to a total of three years in state prison.
