P. v. Leslie
Appellant, challenges his conviction on two counts of threatening another person with immediate great bodily injury in violation of Penal Code section 422. According to appellant, the evidence does not support the finding that the victims were in sustained fear for their safety. Appellant further contends that the trial court erred in finding that his two prior Oregon convictions for attempted sodomy with a child qualified as strike priors under California law.
As discussed below, the sustained fear element of the criminal threat counts is supported by the record. Further, the evidence was sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the prior Oregon convictions contained all of the elements required for a crime to be deemed a serious or violent felony in California. Accordingly, the judgment affirmed.
