People v. Longoria

In People v. Longoria (1995) 34 Cal.App.4th 12, the Court found substantial evidence from which a rational trier of fact could have found the officer's injuries required professional medical treatment, noting the injuries appeared to have been more serious and incapacitating than those found legally sufficient in Lara. (People v. Longoria, supra, 34 Cal.App.4th 12, 18.) The officer was kicked in the groin and knocked to his knees; the fingers and bottom side of his right hand were cut, his hand was crushed, the officer could not hold his firearm and had difficulty unwrapping his holster, and he was placed on restricted duty for three to five days.
