P. v. Rubio CA1/5
Ramon Mejia Rubio appeals from a judgment of conviction and sentence imposed after a jury found him guilty of committing a lewd act with a child under the age of 14 and found that the act constituted substantial sexual conduct. (Pen. Code, §§ 288, subd. (a); 1203.066, subd. (a)(8).) He contends (1) the prosecutor impermissibly appealed to the jury’s sympathy in closing argument; (2) the court erred in instructing the jury on the charged crimes; (3) the court erred in instructing the jury regarding substantial sexual conduct; and (4) the jury’s finding of substantial sexual conduct was not supported by substantial evidence. We will affirm.
