California Court of Appeal
People v. Shields, G043124
In an appeal from a judgment of the trial court convicting defendant of 10 counts of forcible lewd acts on a child under the age of 14, kidnapping to commit a sex offense, three counts of using a minor to produce child pornography, and possession and control of child pornography, convictions and sentencing are affirmed as modified where the trial court committed certain sentencing errors but where defendant's challenges on state equal protection grounds and the trial court's failure to hold a hearing to determine whether his defense counsel should have been substituted are without merit.
