P. v. Hernandez-Perez CA4/1
In December 2015, defendant Omar Hernandez-Perez threatened to kill his mother while kicking in her front door. A jury found him guilty of making a criminal threat (Pen. Code, § 422) and vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (a)). The trial court placed him on probation for 36 months. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred by admitting evidence that he battered his mother in 2013, which the prosecution argued was relevant to the intent element of the current criminal-threat charge. (See Evid. Code, § 1101, subd. (b).) He further contends the court erred by instructing the jury it could consider the evidence for this purpose. We reject these contentions, and affirm.
