P. v. Notis
A jury convicted Spiro Notis of inflicting corporal injury upon his then live in girlfriend, now wife (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a)). In a separate bench trial, the court found true that defendant had a prior conviction for second degree robbery ( 667, subds. (c) & (e)(1), 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)). The trial court sentenced defendant to six years in prison. In his appeal, defendant claims the trial court erred in admitting certain portions of the experts testimony on the battered womens syndrome. Defendant also claims the court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on the lesser included offense of battery upon a spouse or cohabitant. Court reject these claims and affirm the judgment.
