P. v. Campos CA3
On Christmas Day, defendant Esteban Anthony Campos beat his girlfriend. The next day defendant beat his girlfriend again, trapped her in the garage of their home, and threatened her life. On the first offense, a jury found defendant guilty of false imprisonment by violence (Pen. Code, § 236 – count 2) and misdemeanor simple assault (§ 240), as a lesser included offense of corporal injury to a dating partner (§ 273.5 – count 1). On the second offense, a jury found defendant guilty of one count of corporal injury to a dating partner (§ 273.5 – count 3), making criminal threats (§ 422 – count 5), and false imprisonment by violence (§ 236 – count 6). On count 1, the jury found defendant guilty of several lesser offenses, which we will discuss further below. The trial court entered a verdict and subsequently imposed a sentence only on the simple assault conviction for count 1.
