P. v. Gray CA4/9
Defendant Preston Gray was convicted by jury of dissuading a witness and acquitted of pimping and pandering. The witness he dissuaded was his girlfriend, M., the person he was alleged to have encouraged to become a prostitute and from whose acts of prostitution he allegedly derived support. The dissuasion occurred in a phone call made from the jail while defendant awaited trial. In the call, defendant told M., “the only way I could beat this case is if you don’t show up” and “don’t show up at none of the court dates . . . disappear on their ass.” Defendant was sentenced to serve three years in state prison.
