Heading: Sufficiency of the Evidence Regarding Sandra Dean

Text: [¶ 19] The trial court properly instructed the jury that to convict Forbes of the criminal threatening with the use of a dangerous weapon charge, the State was required to prove that Forbes intentionally or knowingly placed James Dean and Sandra Dean, respectively, in fear of imminent bodily injury. The Deans each testified that Forbes was waving the gun around, occasionally pointing it at Sandra, and stated to Sandra, I'll shoot you all, when she told Forbes to put the gun away. This evidence was sufficient to support the jury's finding, in accordance with the instructions, that Forbes directly threatened Sandra, intentionally or knowingly placing her in fear of imminent bodily injury. [¶ 20] The jury was properly instructed, and the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction on Count III. The entry is: Judgments on Counts I and II vacated. Conviction on Count III affirmed. The sentence on Count III is vacated so that, if it chooses to, the court may reconsider the sentence on Count III after disposition, on remand, of Counts I and II.
