P. v. Singh CA1/4
Defendant Jasjit Singh was convicted by jury of forcible rape, rape of an intoxicated person, lewd conduct with a child under 16 at least 10 years younger, and multiple other sexual assault charges. The court sentenced him to 14 years in state prison. Defendant contends that the court abused its discretion in finding just cause to dismiss Juror No. 8 during deliberations and that the juror’s dismissal violated his state and federal constitutional rights to due process, a fair and impartial jury, and a unanimous verdict. Defendant also contends that the court erred prejudicially when it denied defendant’s motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence.
We disagree and shall affirm the trial court’s rulings.
