P. v. Laporte CA1/2
In October of 2014, defendant Jon-Luc Laporte drove his vehicle into two women as they walked on a sidewalk, severely injuring them. When he shortly thereafter drove back to the scene, bystanders identified his truck to police officers, who then pursued him in their patrol vehicles. A jury found Laporte guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of felony evasion of a peace officer. On appeal, Laporte contends that the trial court violated his due process right to an impartial judge by improperly prompting the prosecutor to elicit required testimony on the evasion count regarding the emergency lights on the officers’ vehicles. We affirm.
