P. v. Meria-Deleon CA4/2
A jury convicted defendant and appellant Byron Enrique Merida-Deleon on four counts involving the sexual abuse of a victim under the age of 10. During trial, a video recorded interview of the victim (Jane Doe, born in 2008) with the Riverside County Child Assessment Team (RCAT interview) was played for the jury. Defendant contends that the trial court erred by overruling his Evidence Code section 352 objection to the RCAT interview. He also contends that instructing the jury with CALCRIM No. 318, regarding prior statements as evidence, “compounded the error” of admitting the RCAT interview. We find no error and affirm the judgment.
