California v. Toledano
Annotate this CaseJames Toledano was convicted by jury of conspiracy to commit extortion and attempted extortion. Toledano challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions, and asserted the trial court misinstructed the jury on extortion and erred in failing to give an instruction on entrapment and a pinpoint instruction on the litigation privilege. The Court of Appeal concluded sufficient evidence supported the jury’s verdict, but reversed judgment because Toledano suffered prejudice in the trial court’s decision not to instruct on Toledano’s affirmative defense his actions were protected under the litigation privilege.
