P. v. Gonzales CA1/1
On August 6, 2021, the Lake County District Attorney filed an information charging Gonzales with the attempted murder of C.P. (§§ 187, subd. (a) & 664, count I), felony assault with a deadly weapon, a knife (§ 245, subd. (a)(1), count II), and battery causing serious bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d), count III). Count I was enhanced by allegations that Gonzales personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon. (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1).) As to all three counts, the information alleged that Gonzales personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim within the meaning of section 12022.7, subdivision (a).
The charges arose from an incident on June 11, 2021, in which Gonzales and his housemate, C.P. fought outside their mobile home because Gonzales thought C.P. was “trying to get with [Gonzales’s] ex-girlfriend.” Punches were exchanged, C.P. tackled Gonzales to the ground, and Gonzales kicked C.P. in the face. After the fight, C.P. left the home for approximately an hour.
