Citation270 P.2d 540,125 Cal.App.2d 383
CourtCalifornia Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
PartiesPEOPLE v. RAMOS.

Sisto Ramos, in pro. per.

Edmund G. Brown, Atty. Gen., William E. James, Deputy Atty. Gen., for respondent.

VALLEE, Justice.

Defendant was convicted of having committed the infamous crime against nature. Pen.Code, § 286. He appeals from the judgment. Defendant did not testify or offer any evidence in his behalf.

The only point made is that there was no evidence of penetration. Any penetration, however slight is, sufficient to complete the crime. Pen.Code, § 287. Recitation of the nauseating details would serve no purpose. Suffice it to say that a police officer who witnessed the act testified to facts from which the trial judge could reasonably conclude that there had been penetration.

Affirmed.

SHINN, P. J., and PARKER WOOD, J., concur.

    ...impossible to state that he saw penetration; his description of what he saw left no room for a negative inference. See People v. Ramos, 125 Cal.App.2d 383, 270 P.2d 540. If that were not so, the circumstantial evidence afforded by Dr. Nieremberg's slides would suffice. People v. Singh, 93 C......
