P. v. Carrillo
Defendant was convicted of 16 counts of lewd acts with a child by use of duress, in violation of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (b)(1). The offenses covered the periods from June to December 2001 (counts 13-16); January to June 2002 (counts 9-12); July to December 2002 (counts 5-8); and January to June 2003 (counts 1-4). Defendant was sentenced consecutively to a midterm sentence of six years for each offense, for a total of 96 years in prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the evidence was insufficient to allow the jury to find duress. He also contends that the trial court erred in imposing a midterm sentence instead of a low term sentence on each of the counts. The judgment is affirmed.
