P. v. Mendez
Defendant struck Marc Vidrio with the palm of his hand, causing Vidrio to lose consciousness and suffer several facial fractures and a concussion. Based on this incident, the jury found Mendez guilty of battery with serious bodily injury, and assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury. (Pen. Code, SS 243, subd. (d), S 245, subd. (a)(1).) With respect to each count, the jury also found true that Mendez personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim. (SSs 1192.7, subd. (c)(8), 12022.7.)
Mendez appeals, contending the court abused its discretion in refusing to strike the prior strike, and the court erred in refusing to grant a new trial based on jury misconduct and/or to grant his motion for juror information. Court determine these contentions are without merit and affirm.
