P. v. Buros
Following completion of a sentence for a rape conviction, defendant was found by a jury to be a sexually violent predator. He had three prior rape convictions, two in 1972 and one in 1989. At the commitment hearing, the prosecution read into the record preliminary hearing testimony from (1) the victim of a 1972 rape of which he was found guilty, (2) the victim of a 1972 rape to which he pled guilty, and (3) three other women who were the victims of rape around the same time and place as the first two. Defendant contends that admission of the transcript testimony of these victims was prejudicial error. In addition, he asserts that the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct during questioning and argument. Court affirm.
