P. v. Barrales CA2/5
The jury found defendant and appellant Fermin Barrales guilty of assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury in two counts (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4) [counts 1 & 2]), and found that Barrales personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim in both counts (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). The jury hung as to two counts of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1) [counts 3 & 4]), and as to the allegation as to all four counts that Barrales personally used a deadly weapon—“brass knuckles with a knife”—in the commission of the crimes within the meaning of section 12022, subdivision (b)(1). The trial court declared a mistrial with respect to those counts and allegations.
