P. v. Belmont CA1/4
Defendant Steven Dylan Belmont appeals a judgment entered upon a jury verdict finding him guilty of mayhem (Pen. Code, § 203), two counts of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), and battery with serious bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d)). He contends the trial court did not instruct the jury correctly on self-defense—giving three instructions it should not have—and that his mayhem conviction was improper because the jury found the prosecution did not prove one of the elements of that crime and the court did not instruct the jury fully on that element. We shall affirm the judgment.
