People v. Mack CA2/7

INTRODUCTION

A jury convicted Javon Mack of willfully inflicting corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition on a cohabitant, first degree residential robbery, and assault. The jury found true allegations Mack personally inflicted great bodily injury. Mack argues the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of uncharged acts of domestic violence.
