P. v. Askia CA2/5
Yusuf Abdullateef Askia was convicted of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury. (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4).) On review, we conclude (1) Askia’s Miranda rights were not violated when an officer asked “what happened?” at the crime scene; (2) the court properly refused an instruction on defense of property; and (3) no coercion occurred when the court told the deadlocked jury to continue deliberations. The Attorney General concedes, and we agree, that a one-year sentence enhancement must be stricken. (§ 667.5, subd. (b).) With a modified prison sentence, we affirm.
