Is the sentence imposed by the trial court consistent with the law?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Dove, B257953 (Cal. App. 2015):

The jury was properly instructed on the law. The court provided the jury with pattern instructions on the presumption of innocence, as well as the elements of assault with a deadly weapon and personal infliction of great bodily injury. The jury was fully instructed on defendant's right not to testify, consideration of his oral admission or confession and the requirement of corroboration, and lesser included offenses. The sentence imposed by the trial court was consistent with the law.

The judgment is affirmed. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259.)
