P. v. Venturine CA2/6
Mark Anthony Venturine appeals the judgment entered after he pleaded no contest to five counts of making criminal threats (Pen. Code, § 422), and one count each of inflicting corporal injury on a current or former cohabitant (§ 273.5, subd. (a)) and stalking (§ 646.9, subd. (b)). Appellant also admitted a prior strike and serious felony conviction (§§ 667, subds. (a)(1), (c)-(e), 1170.12, subds. (a), (c)). The trial court sentenced him to 10 years in state prison.
Appellant, who has been diagnosed with mental disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder and alcohol use disorder, contends the court abused its discretion in denying his request for mental health diversion under section 1001.36.
