P. v. Evans CA5
Charles Scott Evans was convicted, after jury trial, of three felony counts of attempting to dissuade a witness from testifying at trial and three misdemeanor counts of violating a protective order. He challenges his convictions for attempting to dissuade a witness on multiple grounds; he also challenges his sentences for these convictions. Similarly, Evans challenges his misdemeanor convictions for violating a protective order as well as the sentences for these convictions. Finally, Evans raises a claim of cumulative error. We will reverse one of Evans’s convictions for attempting to dissuade a witness, for insufficiency of the underlying evidence. We reject his other contentions. We will remand the matter for resentencing consistent with this opinion.
