Is there any case law where a defendant has been found not guilty of a charge but found guilty of assault?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Dorsey, C084039 (Cal. App. 2019):
We agree that some of the uncharged act evidence should have been excluded. But on this record, it is not reasonably probable defendant would have obtained a more favorable result had the errors not occurred. (See People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836 (Watson).) Accordingly, we shall affirm the judgment.
