P. v. Ramos-Coreas CA1/1
A jury acquitted defendant Luis Alberto Ramos-Coreas of attempted murder but found him guilty of assault on a peace officer, resisting a peace officer with serious bodily injury, and battery with serious bodily injury. The jury also found true several related enhancement allegations. After admitting to a prior conviction, defendant was sentenced to an aggregate term of 18 years in state prison. He contends on appeal that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury that mental impairment was a defense to assault on a peace officer and to resisting a peace officer with serious bodily injury. He also asserts that the court gave conflicting instructions on the knowledge element of these two offenses. We affirm.
