California v. Bharth
Annotate this CaseDefendant Amit Bharth was convicted by jury on two counts of forcible rape, assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, and false imprisonment. The jury also found true the allegation that defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury. Defendant was sentenced to 23 years, 8 months in prison. The sole issue on appeal was whether the trial court erred in denying defendant's motion for a mistrial, which was based on his contention that the court permitted testimony by the victim that violated his confrontation clause rights. Finding no reversible error, the Court of Appeal affirmed defendant's convictions.
