P. v. Medina
A jury convicted Defendant of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon (a knife) (Pen. Code, S 245, subd. (a)(1)), kidnapping for the purposes of rape (S 209, subd. (b)(1)), and attempted rape (SS 261, subd. (a)(2), 664). The trial court sentenced him to an indeterminate term of 15 years to life and a consecutive determinate term of four years for various enhancements found true by the jury.
Defendant argues (1) the trial court erred in consolidating the two complaints filed by the People; (2) he received ineffective assistance of counsel; and (3) the aggravated kidnapping count was not supported by substantial evidence. Court disagree and affirm the judgment.
