P. v. Martinez CA1/5
Appellant Flemin Fernando Martinez was tried before a jury and convicted of multiple sexual offenses against four separate child victims. He contends that detectives were erroneously allowed to testify that although appellant had made several incriminating statements during a police interview concerning his sexual contact with one of the victims, he was not telling the whole truth because he denied having intercourse. Appellant argues that this amounted to an improper lay opinion regarding his truthfulness and his guilt of the one of the charges, which requires the reversal of at least one of the counts. We question whether this issue was adequately preserved, but in any event, any error was clearly harmless. We affirm.
