P. v. Randall CA5
This factual summary will focus on those facts necessary to resolve the issues defendant raises in this appeal. On August 3, 2019, a neighbor of defendant’s called 911 to report she heard people shouting in a nearby apartment. Responding to that phone call, Officer Meng Xiong encountered K.H. At trial, Xiong testified K.H. appeared distraught, and that her left eye was swollen shut, she had dried blood on her nose and there was a large handprint on her right cheek. In a video recording of the conversation at the scene, K.H. told Xiong that she and her boyfriend, who she identified as defendant, had argued. K.H. stated to Xiong there “was a lot of yelling going on and I ended up on the floor.” K.H. told Xiong that defendant may have punched her in the face as well as tackled her during the argument.
Officer Jose Ruiz also responded to the 911 call, and also recorded his conversation with K.H.
