People v. Garrett CA4/1

FACTS

For purposes of this section, we state the evidence in the light most favorable to

the judgment. (See People v. Osband (1996) 13 Cal.4th 622, 690; People v. Dawkins

(2014) 230 Cal.App.4th 991, 994.)

Garrett and Alexis Kinsman met through mutual friends and corresponded on

Facebook. After a few weeks, they began a romantic relationship. One night, Garrett

2 cooked dinner, and he became angry with Kinsman because she did not finish eating her

food. Garrett threw Kinsman against a wall and threatened to kill her. Kinsman ran out

of her apartment and encountered a neighbor. Kinsman asked the neighbor, Seth

Woolsey, to call police. Woolsey asked what was wrong, and Kinsman said her

boyfriend had attacked her. Kinsman touched her head and showed Woolsey blood on

her hand. Garrett fled. Police arrived, and Kinsman told them Garrett's first name. She

was unable to provide any other information about him.

Kinsman eventually forgave Garrett and began to see him again romantically. He

was irrationally jealous, however, and frequently accused her of cheating on him with

other men. On the evening of July 21, 2015, Garrett was at Kinsman's apartment.
