P. v. Djama CA2/3
Djama is a citizen of Uzbekistan. She entered the United States in 2011 as a lawful permanent resident. Djama emigrated here to improve her life financially, to help her family, and “to live freely as a Muslim lesbian without fear of persecution,” which she was facing in her home country.
In July 2016, the People charged Djama with allowing a mischievous animal to cause serious bodily injury to another person (§ 399, count 1); assault with a deadly weapon—a dog (§ 245, subd. (a)(1), count 3); criminal threats (§ 422, subd. (a), count 5); and unlawful transportation of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11360, subd. (a), count 6). The court bifurcated count 6 from counts 1, 3, and 5.
On June 16, 2017, Djama, who was represented by a deputy alternate public defender, pled no contest to count 6.
