Can a defendant appeal his conviction for making criminal threats against a police officer?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Slaughter, G041573, No. FSB701492 (Cal. App. 2010):
Although defendant's convictions for making criminal threats must be reversed, as defendant concedes, substantial evidence supports convictions for the lesser included offense of attempted criminal threats. Under the authority of Penal Code section 1260 and People v. Navarro, supra, 40 Cal.4th at page 677, we modify the judgment to reflect convictions for attempted criminal threats, and remand for resentencing.
