What is the state attorney general's opinion on battery and assault charges?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Molina, G055709 (Cal. App. 2019):
The Attorney General agrees with respect to the battery count and so do we. Although we are obligated to uphold the trial court's sentencing decision if there is substantial evidence to support it (People v. Saffle (1992) 4 Cal.App.4th 434, 438 ["The factual finding that there was more than one objective must be supported by substantial evidence"]; People v. Osband (1996) 13 Cal.4th 622, 730-731), we conclude there is no such evidence here.
