P. v. Corado-Merlos CA1/2
Jose Corado-Merlos was convicted of sexual offenses committed against his then 11-year-old daughter and sentenced to prison for those offenses, as well as for a prior offense for which he had been on probation. He contends his convictions in the later case must be reversed due to the trial court’s refusal to make a preliminary determination as to the victim’s younger brother’s competency to testify and the court’s refusal to strike the brother’s hearsay statement that the victim had been sexually assaulted. As the probation violation in the earlier case was based on the verdicts in the later one, he contends that if his convictions in the later case are reversed, the revocation of probation must also be reversed. We affirm.
