P. v. Bailey CA3
Stephen Vann, defendant Jeffrey L. Bailey’s cousin by marriage, owed defendant $500 for marijuana. Following a series of acrimonious text messages and various efforts by Vann to repay the loan, defendant stabbed Vann. A complaint deemed an information charged defendant with assault with a deadly weapon and alleged great bodily injury. (Pen. Code, §§ 245, subd. (a)(1), 12022.7, subd. (a).) A jury found defendant guilty and the trial court granted defendant five years’ probation, including 120 days in jail on the assault conviction and stayed the punishment on the great bodily injury enhancement. Defendant appeals, arguing instructional error, prosecutorial misconduct, jury misconduct and cumulative error. We shall affirm the judgment.
