P. v. Martinez
A jury convicted appellant Thomas Edward Martinez of forcible rape and four counts of forcible oral copulation, each enhanced by the use of a deadly weapon. He was sentenced to a total term of 56 years to life in state prison for these offenses. (See Pen. Code, 667.61, subds. (a), (c)(1), (6), (e)(4), (5), 12022.3, subd. (a); former 261, subd. (a)(2), 288a, subd. (c)(2), 667.5, subd. (c)(3), (5), 1192.7, subd. (c)(3), (5), (23), 12022, subd. (b)(1).) Martinez appeals, contending that (1) the prosecutor improperly exercised peremptory challenges during voir dire; (2) the trial court erred by admitting one victims prior consistent statements; and (3) it improperly modified an instruction on the deadly weapon use enhancement allegations. Court affirm the conviction.
