P. v. Trujillo CA5
Appellant Jesus Gonzalez Trujillo was convicted by jury of two counts of forcible lewd and lascivious acts against a child 14 years or younger (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (b)(1); counts 2 & 6) against two separate victims, and one count of lewd and lascivious acts against a child 14 years or younger (§ 288, subd. (a); count 3) against a third victim. The jury also found true as to all counts that appellant committed the offenses against multiple victims (§ 667.61, subds. (b) & (e)(4)). Appellant was sentenced to consecutive indeterminate terms of 15 years to life on each count, for an aggregate term of 45 years to life.
On appeal, appellant argues his convictions on counts 2 and 3 must be reversed because the trial court erred by admitting statements that he made to law enforcement and by excluding expert testimony on false confessions.
