The following excerpt is from The People v. Slaughter, G041573, No. FSB701492 (Cal. App. 2010):
In counts 4 and 18, defendant was charged with making criminal threats against reynolds and Barnes. Defendant argues the trial court erred because it failed to instruct the jury, sua sponte, on the lesser included offense of attempted criminal threats. We review this issue de novo. (People v. Licas (2007) 41 Cal.4th 362, 366.)
