P. v. Gonzalez CA4/3
A jury convicted defendant Abrand Gonzalez on two counts of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury, and the court sentenced him to an aggregate state prison term of seven years. On appeal, defendant argues that (1) during the prosecutor’s rebuttal closing argument, he incorrectly described the meaning of the term “abiding conviction,” thereby misstating the reasonable doubt standard and improperly reducing the prosecution’s burden of proof; (2) the trial court erroneously denied defendant’s post-verdict Marsden motion; and (3) defendant was denied due process at sentencing. We reject all of defendant’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
