People v. Espinoza

VAN CISE, Judge.

Defendant, Andrew Espinoza, appeals the judgments of the trial court entered upon jury verdicts finding him guilty of two counts of menacing (two victims), and one count each of first degree sexual assault, possession of dangerous drugs with intent to distribute, and crime of violence.

The offenses of which defendant was convicted occurred on May 2, 1981, after two teen-age girls, attending a party in the mountains, accepted defendant’s offer of a ride home.
