P. v. Deponte CA4/5
A jury found defendant James Manuel Deponte guilty of multiple charges stemming from a domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend. He was sentenced to an aggregate prison term of 13 years. On appeal, he contends the trial court erroneously instructed the jury with CALCRIM No. 361, failure to explain or deny adverse testimony. He also challenges the imposition of certain fines and fees in light of People v. Dueñas (2019) 30 Cal.App.5th 1157.
