P. v. Strand CA4/3
A jury convicted Christopher Allen Strand of three sex offenses. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true a prior strike and one prior serious felony conviction. The court sentenced Strand to state prison for 76 years to life, including imposing two five-year enhancements for the prior serious felony conviction pursuant to Penal Code section 667, subdivision (a).
On appeal, Strand contended the trial court prejudicially erred by sustaining the prosecutor’s objection to questions his attorney asked two defense witnesses. He further claimed the prosecutor’s misconduct in closing and rebuttal arguments impermissibly reduced the prosecution’s burden of proof. Finding no reversible error, we affirmed the judgment.
