P. v. Johnson CA1/1
A jury convicted defendant Wayne Jerome Johnson of stalking, domestic violence, and assault with a deadly weapon. On appeal, defendant contends his due process rights were violated by the admission of evidence regarding a restraining order against him, and the convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and related domestic violence charge and his stalking in violation of a restraining order conviction were not supported by substantial evidence. He further asserts he received ineffective assistance of counsel and contends his conviction for stalking in violation of a restraining order must be reversed because the restraining order was void. Finally, in supplemental briefing, defendant argues he is entitled to resentencing based on statutory changes to Penal Code sections 654 and 1170. We agree his conviction for stalking in violation of a restraining order must be modified and he is entitled to resentencing, but otherwise affirm the judgment.
