        "text": "OPINION\nMINZNER, Chief Judge.\nDefendant appeals his convictions for kidnapping and four counts of criminal sexual penetration in the second degree (CSP II). Defendant and Complainant were friends and former co-workers at the time of the incident from which this case arose.\nAccording to Complainant\u2019s testimony, in the early morning hours of January 10, 1990, Defendant appeared at her door claiming to be drunk and experiencing car trouble. After she let him into her house, he verbally threatened her, grabbed her arms, and forced her into a bedroom and to undress. In the bedroom he secured her hands with handcuffs, displayed a gun, knife, and rope, and threatened to use the gun if she did not do what he wanted. He then compelled her to engage in fellatio and, after repositioning her with the handcuffs and rope, in sexual as well as anal intercourse. He subsequently moved her into the bathroom, requested a wash cloth, wiped himself, and again compelled her to perform fellatio. Afterward, he became remorseful; apparently in sympathy, she said that she would not report the incident if he sought professional help for his problems, and he left the gun with her when he left her house. She reported the incident five days later when she came to the conclusion that he had lied about seeking professional help.\nDefendant\u2019s defense theory was alibi: his wife testified that he was in bed asleep with her at the time of the alleged incident. They also presented evidence to show that the gun was not Defendant\u2019s, but rather belonged to Complainant. Defendant suggested that Complainant fabricated the charges because she was angry with him for breaking off an affair with her and also for not repaying a loan she had made to him.\nThe jury returned verdicts of guilty on one count of kidnapping and four counts of CSP II. At sentencing, the trial court imposed nine-year sentences for each conviction and added three years to each sentence due to aggravating circumstances, which included harm to Complainant, harm to Defendant\u2019s family, and Defendant\u2019s lack of remorse. See NMSA 1978, \u00a7 31-18-15.1 (Repl.Pamp.1990) (alteration of basic sentence for mitigating or aggravating circumstances). The trial court added one year on the basis of a prior Colorado felony conviction and one year for use of a firearm. See NMSA 1978, \u00a7 31-18-17(B) (Repl.Pamp.1990) (alteration of basic sentence; habitual offender); NMSA 1978, \u00a7 31-18-16(A) (Repl.Pamp.1990) (alteration of basic sentence; use of firearm).\nDefendant raises twelve issues on appeal, seven of which deal with matters at trial and the rest of which challenge the validity of Defendant\u2019s sentence. The trial issues include Defendant\u2019s right to have the jury instructed on the lesser-included offense of .criminal sexual penetration in the third degree (CSP III), the timeliness of his objection to the prosecution\u2019s use of peremptory challenges, and whether he received effective assistance of counsel. Three of the trial issues concern evidentiary rulings excluding evidence Defendant wished to introduce. We address those issues under one heading. Defendant also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions. The sentencing issues include the propriety of the factors on which the trial court relied in aggravating and enhancing Defendant\u2019s sentences and the sufficiency of the evidence to support multiple counts of CSP II.\nWe affirm Defendant\u2019s convictions; we vacate Defendant\u2019s sentence and remand for resentencing in accordance with this opinion. We address below each of the issues Defendant raises. We first address and answer summarily Defendant\u2019s contentions that his convictions are not supported by substantial evidence and that neither the multiple CSP II sentences nor the increased sentences under Sections 31-18-16(A) and -17(B) were proper.\nI. ISSUES ADDRESSED SUMMARILY\nWe are aware of conflicts in the evidence and the conflicting inferences the jury was entitled to draw. Nevertheless, we must resolve those inferences and conflicts in the light most favorable to the judgment. State v. Lankford, 92 N.M. 1, 2, 582 P.2d 378, 379 (1978). \u201cIt is for the trier of fact to determine the weight and sufficiency of the evidence, including all reasonable inferences.\u201d State v. Vialpando, 93 N.M. 289, 292, 599 P.2d 1086, 1089 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 93 N.M. 172, 598 P.2d 215 (1979). Based on Complainant\u2019s testimony, see NMSA 1978, \u00a7\u00a7 30-4-1(A)(3) & 30-9-11(B)(5) (Repl. Pamp.1984), we hold that Defendant\u2019s convictions are supported by sufficient evidence. See generally State v. Duran, 107 N.M. 603, 605, 762 P.2d 890, 892 (1988) (discussing test for sufficiency of evidence to sustain guilty verdict).\nDefendant also contends that the facts in the present case establish one continuous offense, and that his sentences are contrary to the prohibition against multiple punishments for a single offense. This argument, based on his right to be free from double jeopardy, raises an issue of legislative intent. There is controlling Supreme Court precedent.\nThe New Mexico Supreme Court in Herron v. State, 111 N.M. 357, 805 P.2d 624 (1991), recently detailed the factors to be used to determine whether multiple acts committed in close temporal proximity constitute a continuous offense or separate and distinct offenses under Section 30-9-11. Under Herron, penetrations of separate orifices with the same object constitute separate offenses. Therefore, the acts of anal intercourse, sexual intercourse, and at least one instance of fellatio constitute separate offenses under Herron. To determine if the second instance is a separate offense we refer to the factors set out in Herron for making such a determination. The second instance of fellatio occurred only a short time after the anal penetration. However, Defendant had moved the victim from the bathroom to the bedroom before forcing her to engage in fellatio a second time. In addition, there had been an intervening event between the anal intercourse and the second act of fellatio. We. conclude that the second act of fellatio was a separate and distinct act under Herron. Therefore, we hold that there was no double jeopardy violation.\nDefendant also challenges the firearm enhancement of his sentence. We recently answered a similar challenge based on double jeopardy in State v. Charlton, 115 N.M. 35, 38-41, 846 P.2d 341, 344-47 (Ct.App.1992), cert. denied, 114 N.M. 577, 844 P.2d 827 (1993). Based on that opinion, we conclude that Defendant\u2019s challenge to the firearm enhancement of his sentence lacks merit.\nFinally, Defendant argues that a habitual offender enhancement was improperly imposed because the Colorado felony for which he was previously convicted is not a felony in New Mexico. See \u00a7 31-18-17(A)(2)(c); State v. Knight, 75 N.M. 197, 199, 402 P.2d 380, 382 (1965). Whether or not the Colorado felony is a felony in New Mexico, the felony conviction may be used if it was punishable by imprisonment of more than one year. State v. Mankiller, 104 N.M. 461, 469, 722 P.2d 1183, 1191 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 104 N.M. 378, 721 P.2d 1309 (1986). Defendant admitted that he was convicted in Colorado of the class five felony of possession of a dangerous weapon, and the State introduced the judgment and sentence of this conviction. Thus, the State presented a prima facie case for a habitual offender enhancement. Id. Moreover, the trial court noted that a felony by definition is punishable by more than one year, and indeed, a fifth class felony conviction was punishable by more than one year of imprisonment at the time of Defendant\u2019s prior conviction. Colo.Rev.Stat.Ann. \u00a7 18-1-105(1)(a)(II) (West 1986). Accordingly, it was proper to impose a habitual offender enhancement.\nWe next address the trial court\u2019s ruling on denying an instruction on CSP III. We then address the remaining trial issues and the question of whether Defendant\u2019s sentences were aggravated on a proper basis.\nII. INSTRUCTION ON CSP III\nA defendant is entitled to a lesser-included offense instruction only if there is evidence tending to establish the lesser offense, and there must be some view of the evidence tending to establish that the lesser offense is the highest degree of crime committed. State v. Fish, 102 N.M. 775, 779, 701 P.2d 374, 378 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 102 N.M. 734, 700 P.2d 197 (1985). We agree with the trial court\u2019s analysis of this issue, which was that the evidence did not support the instruction.\nDefendant tendered a correct CSP III instruction at trial, arguing the evidence in support of the instruction consisted of Complainant\u2019s testimony that he set the gun down before the actual sexual penetrations commenced. That argument would not support the giving of a CSP III instruction. However, based on our review of the record, we believe that the trial court rejected the instruction on another ground, which is the issue raised on appeal. We next address the issue raised on appeal. See State v. Corneau, 109 N.M. 81, 88, 781 P.2d 1159, 1166 (Ct.App.) (addressing comparable issue despite tender that may have been unclear or equivocal), certs. denied, 108 N.M. 668, 777 P.2d 907 (1989).\nThe trial court was entitled to refuse Defendant\u2019s instruction on CSP III if there was no view of the evidence tending to establish the lesser offense as the highest degree of the crime committed. Fish, 102 N.M. at 779, 701 P.2d at 878. Defendant asks us to allow the jury to select portions of Complainant\u2019s testimony, portions of Defendant\u2019s testimony, and base a verdict on the composite. That is to say, to conclude that CSP III was the highest degree of crime committed, the jury would have to believe Complainant\u2019s allegation that-an attack occurred while rejecting her contention that a gun was involved, and to reject Defendant\u2019s alibi defense while believing Defendant\u2019s contention that the gun belonged to Complainant. We believe the fragmentation of the evidence that would have to occur for the jury to conclude that CSP III had been committed justified the trial court\u2019s refusal of the lesser-included offense instruction. See State v. Manus, 93 N.M. 95, 100-01, 597 P.2d 280, 285-86 (1979), overruled on other grounds by Sells v. State, 98 N.M. 786, 653 P.2d 162 (1982); State v. Marquez, 96 N.M. 746, 748-49, 634 P.2d 1298, 1300-01 (Ct.App.1981).\nBecause Defendant offered the defense of an alibi, he was not entitled to a lesser-included offense instruction on the ground that the jury might have rejected Complainant\u2019s testimony regarding the gun. See State v. Coffin, 565 P.2d 391, 393-94 (Or.Ct.App.1977); State v. Cameron, 216 Kan. 644, 533 P.2d 1255, 1262 (1975). In Comeau, the jury was entitled to rely on the victim\u2019s testimony regarding the use of force, but accept the defendant\u2019s theory that the force used was insufficient to establish false imprisonment as an independent felony. We think Comeau raised a very different factual question than that involved in this case. In Comeau, there was a factual issue the jury had to resolve, which was whether the victim\u2019s testimony necessarily established the greater offense. In this ease, there was no comparable factual issue. Cf. State v. Thayer, 32 Or.App. 193, 573 P.2d 758, 760 (1978) (qualifying language in Coffin and refusing to apply it in a case where state of mind is element and state\u2019s own evidence permitted competing inference).\nWe recognize that a requested instruction must be given if it is supported by evidence, even if the instruction is contrary to Defendant\u2019s initial theory of the case. See State v. Privett, 104 N.M. 79, 81, 717 P.2d 55, 57 (1986); cf. State v. Benavidez, 94 N.M. 706, 708, 616 P.2d 419, 421 (1980) (the defendant was entitled to an instruction on voluntary manslaughter, even though he denied ever having shot at the victim), overruled on other grounds by Sells v. State, 98 N.M. 786, 653 P.2d 162 (1982). However, there must be some evidence other than that obtained by taking portions of the victim\u2019s and portions of the defendant\u2019s testimony to support the lesser-included offense instruction. In Fish, the defendant admitted being present and engaging in sex with the victim; no knife was found. When there is other evidence, then the risk of impermissible distortion is eliminated. In Benavidez, another witness testified about the defendant\u2019s gesture with his arm, 94 N.M. at 708, 616 P.2d at 421, and in Privett, there was \u201cconsiderable evidence relating to Mr. Privett\u2019s long-term alcoholism and his alcoholic condition during the hours surrounding his wife\u2019s death,\u201d 104 N.M. at 81, 717 P.2d at 57, from law enforcement officers. Thayer is in accord with Privett. 573 P.2d at 759-60.\nJudge Chavez suggests in his dissent that there was \u201cother evidence in the case to corroborate Defendant\u2019s testimony about the gun \u2014 his wife\u2019s testimony and the lack of fingerprint evidence.\u201d 117 N.M. at 21, 868 P.2d at 666. With respect, we do not believe this evidence eliminates the risk of impermissible distortion. Defendant\u2019s evidence concerning the earlier possession of the gun does not detract from Complainant\u2019s testimony concerning the use of the gun on the night in question. Defendant\u2019s wife did not testify to the location of the gun on the night in question, and we do not believe the evidence that there were no prints on the gun is analogous to the missing knife in Fish. Defendant was either innocent of any crime or guilty of CSP II.\nIII. USE OF PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES\nDefendant asserts that the State\u2019s use of its peremptory challenges during jury selection violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and the New Mexico Constitution. However, Defendant made his objection after the venire panel had been dismissed and the petit jury sworn and preliminarily instructed. The trial judge denied his motion to dismiss and also stated that the objection was untimely because it was too late to cure any alleged error. We agree.\nIt may be that Defendant only raised an equal protection challenge below. See State v. Lucero, 104 N.M. 587, 590, 725 P.2d 266, 269 (Ct.App.1986) (defendant must make a timely and specific objection that apprises the trial court of the nature of the claimed error); Reynolds v. City of Little Rock, 893 F.2d 1004, 1009 (8th Cir.1990) (if Baiscm-type objection was clear and timely enough for lower court to address merits of claim, defendant\u2019s appeal not barred because state contends objection was equivocal and untimely). Nevertheless, we believe the objection Defendant made was untimely, whether it was based on the Equal Protection Clause, the Sixth Amendment, or the state constitutional provisions.\nGenerally, a challenge to jury selection must be made before the jury is sworn. The Supreme Court\u2019s discussion of remedies in Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986), suggests this approach. The Court noted two options: discharge the venire and select a new jury from a panel not previously associated with the case, or disallow the discriminatory challenges and resume selection with the improperly challenged jurors reinstated on the venire. Id. at 99-100 n. 24, 106 S.Ct. at 1724-25 n. 24. Both options assume that the issue will be decided before the jury is sworn. See also the analysis in United States v. Cashwell, 950 F.2d 699, 704 (11th Cir.1992); United States v. Dobynes, 905 F.2d 1192, 1196 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 877, 111 S.Ct. 206, 112 L.Ed.2d 167 (1990). But see Reynolds, 893 F.2d at 1009 (Batson issue preserved in civil case where trial judge ruled on merits even though objection raised after jury was sworn); United States v. Thompson, 827 F.2d 1254, 1257 (9th Cir.1987) (considering Batson claim timely made after jury sworn because there was no prejudice to the government and defendant could be retried).\nState cases have taken a similar approach. As the Missouri courts have reasoned:\n\u201cThere simply is no justification for defense counsel to wait until the remaining venirepersons are discharged to challenge the state\u2019s peremptory strikes. If defense counsel does wait until the venire panel is discharged and the challenge is sustained, then the jury selection process must start anew, and an additional venire panel must be called. This simply delays justice, and, in those jurisdictions where an additional venire is not readily available, the delay can be substantial.\u201d\nState v. Cummings, 838 S.W.2d 4, 6 (Mo.Ct.App.1992) (quoting State v. Smith, 791 S.W.2d 744, 747 (Mo.Ct.App.1990)). Accordingly, the objection should be made before the jury is sworn. See Ross v. State, 581 So.2d 495, 496 (Ala.1991); State v. Harris, 157 Ariz. 35, 754 P.2d 1139, 1140 (1988) (en banc); Pacee v. State, 306 Ark. 563, 816 S.W.2d 856, 859 (1991); State v. Castillo, 486 So.2d 565, 565 (Fla.1986); Greene v. State, 260 Ga. 472, 396 S.E.2d 901, 902 (1990); People v. Wright, 218 Ill.App.3d 764, 161 Ill.Dec. 444, 578 N.E.2d 1090, 1098 (1991); State v. Potter, 591 So.2d 1166, 1169 (La.1991) (requiring an objection \u201cduring the jury selection process itself\u2019); Stanley v. State, 313 Md. 50, 542 A.2d 1267, 1276 (1988); People v. Williams, 174 Mich.App. 132, 435 N.W.2d 469, 472 (Mich.Ct.App.1989); Thomas v. State, 517 So.2d 1285, 1286-88 (Miss.1987); People v. Harris, 542 N.Y.S.2d 411, 412 (App.Div.1989); State v. Jones, 293 S.C. 54, 358 S.E.2d 701, 704 (1987). A Texas statute requires the objection to be made before the jury is sworn. See Taylor v. State, 825 S.W.2d 212, 214 (Tex.Ct.App.1992).\nWe may review issues raised for the first time on appeal, in our discretion, if they involve questions of fundamental error. SCRA 1986, 12-216(B)(2) (Repl.1992); cf. State v. English, 795 S.W.2d 610, 612 (Mo.Ct.App.1990) (defendant\u2019s Batson objection ruled untimely where made after jury panel had been discharged, but court reviewed claim under plain error doctrine). If there is substantial evidence to support the verdict, however, we will not resort to fundamental error. State v. Rodriguez, 81 N.M. 503, 505, 469 P.2d 148, 150 (1970). As indicated above, there is substantial evidence to support Defendant\u2019s convictions. We see no other basis for invoking the concept of fundamental error. See State v. Orosco, 113 N.M. 780, 784, 833 P.2d 1146, 1150 (1992) (rule of fundamental error applies only if there has been miscarriage of justice, if question of guilt is so doubtful that it would shock conscience to permit conviction to stand, or if substantial justice has not been done). We thus decline to address Defendant\u2019s equal protection, Sixth Amendment, and New Mexico constitutional claims.\nIV. EXCLUSION OF EVIDENCE\nDefendant first argues that it was reversible error for the trial court to prohibit his six-year-old son from testifying that he had seen Complainant performing fellatio on Defendant on a prior occasion. Defendant argues that the testimony was relevant because it corroborated his claim that he and Complainant had an affair and demonstrated her motive to lie. The State agrees that the testimony is relevant. However, the State argues that the evidence was nevertheless properly excluded because it was cumulative and too prejudicial. We agree.\nAs the State points out, Defendant cross-examined Complainant regarding the alleged sexual affair. In addition, the trial court allowed Defendant and his wife to testify regarding an affair between Defendant and Complainant. Therefore, the trial court could properly exclude the evidence as cumulative. See State v. Lujan, 94 N.M. 232, 233, 608 P.2d 1114, 1115 (1980), overruled on other grounds by Sells v. State, 98 N.M. 786, 653 P.2d 162 (1982). Further, determining whether the prejudicial impact of evidence outweighs its probative value is left to the discretion of the trial court. State v. Martinez, 94 N.M. 50, 52, 607 P.2d 137, 139 (Ct.App.1980). Given the inflammatory nature of the testimony and its limited probative value, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion in excluding the testimony. See SCRA 1986, 11-403; see also SCRA 1986, 11-413(A) (evidence of Complainant\u2019s past sexual conduct \u201cshall not be admitted unless, and only to the extent that the court finds, that evidence of the victim\u2019s past sexual conduct is material and relevant to the case and that its inflammatory or prejudicial nature does not outweigh its probative value\u201d).\nDefendant also complains about the trial court\u2019s refusal to allow Defendant to present the testimony of some of his family members regarding several guns Defendant claimed they received as gifts. On cross-examination, the prosecutor had asked Defendant\u2019s wife about State\u2019s Exhibit 8, the gun that she testified Complainant had offered to sell to Defendant prior to January 10,1990. Specifically, the prosecutor asked Defendant\u2019s wife if she could identify the caliber of the gun. The prosecutor also asked her if she had purchased a number of guns in recent years. After she answered that she really didn\u2019t know much about guns, the prosecutor asked her whether she had bought the guns for Defendant. She denied that she had bought the guns for Defendant and testified that she had purchased them as gifts for her in-laws. On direct examination, Defendant testified in detail regarding which relative had received each of the guns his wife had purchased. Thus, the record indicates that the prosecutor asked Defendant\u2019s wife about her gun purchases in an effort to impeach her credibility on the issue of whether she recognized State\u2019s Exhibit 8, as well as to impeach her general character for honesty, and that Defendant wished to rehabilitate her by introducing additional testimony by members of Defendant\u2019s family that his wife had indeed given them the guns she had purchased.\nDefendant argues that the trial court excluded his additional witnesses because they were not included on his witness list. See McCarty v. State, 107 N.M. 651, 655, 763 P.2d 360, 364 (1988). We do not think the record supports this claim. Rather, the trial court appears to have excluded the testimony on at least one other basis, which was that the anticipated testimony was not important to the central issues in the case. We conclude that the court properly exercised its discretion. See SCRA 11-403 (\u201crelevant ... evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of ... confusion of the issues or ... considerations of undue delay, waste of time or needless presentation of cumulative evidence\u201d).\nFinally, Defendant contests the trial court\u2019s decision to prohibit Defendant from testifying that Complainant owned a vibrator. We agree with the trial court\u2019s decision to prohibit the testimony. The danger of unfair prejudice plainly outweighed any probative value the evidence may have had. SCRA 11-413.\nV. INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL\nDefendant asserts that he received ineffective assistance of counsel if the Batson-type objection is held to be untimely. He argues that defense counsel\u2019s failure to address the discriminatory use of peremptory challenges in a timely manner cast doubt on the reliability of the trial. We do not reach this claim.\nRecent decisions of this Court have established that we will not decide denial of effective assistance of counsel claims unless the record on appeal establishes a prima facie case of ineffective assistance. See State v. Richardson, 114 N.M. 725, 729, 845 P.2d 819, 823 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 114 N.M. 550, 844 P.2d 130 (1992); State v. Swavola, 114 N.M. 472, 475, 840 P.2d 1238, 1241 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 114 N.M. 501, 841 P.2d 549 (1992); State v. Powers, 111 N.M. 10, 12, 800 P.2d 1067, 1069 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 111 N.M. 16, 801 P.2d 86 (1990). A prima facie case is not made when some plausible, rational strategy or tactic can explain counsel\u2019s conduct. Swavola, 114 N.M. at 475, 840 P.2d at 1241. A prima facie showing also is not made unless there is a basis on the record for concluding that counsel\u2019s conduct \u201cresulted in prejudice\u201d to the defendant. See Richardson, 114 N.M. at 729, 845 P.2d at 823. On the record before us, we cannot say that defense counsel\u2019s conduct was either clearly inexplicable or prejudicial.\nThe State observes, and Defendant does not dispute, that the petit jury consisted of four Hispanic and eight Anglo jurors, that the juror selected as an alternate and the prosecutor are both Hispanic, and that the victim is Anglo. As Judge Chavez notes in his dissent, Defendant is Anglo. The record in this case indicates that the venire panel consisted of thirty-eight people, of whom twenty-three or twenty-four have Hispanic surnames.\nOn these facts, an inference of discrimination based on ethnicity might have seemed speculative to counsel. Cf. State v. Gonzales, 111 N.M. 590, 596, 808 P.2d 40, 46 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 111 N.M. 416, 806 P.2d 65 (1991) (Hispanic male defendant, prosecutor struck only Hispanic males, leaving a jury of eleven women and one man, of whom four were Hispanic; court analyzed ways in which a prima facie showing of intentionally discriminatory conduct can be made). The answer to the question of whether a trial court would have been willing to make the inference required is not so clear that we are willing to conclude that Defendant has made a prima facie showing of deficient trial performance by his counsel.\nIn addition, defense counsel might have had reasons related to Defendant\u2019s theory of the case for not opposing the prosecutor\u2019s use of the State\u2019s peremptory challenges. Perhaps counsel initially concluded that one or more of the prosecutor\u2019s challenges had removed an individual juror on whom Defendant would have used one of his peremptory challenges. Alternatively, counsel originally might have been satisfied that the final jury selected was a fair cross-section of the community and that Defendant\u2019s chances for an acquittal would not improve with any changes and might instead lessen. Neither of these possibilities seems so remote that we are prepared to say that Defendant has shown deficient trial performance or a performance that probably resulted in prejudice.\nIn his dissent, Judge Chavez makes a thoughtful argument that failure to make a timely objection to a prosecutor\u2019s discriminatory use of peremptory challenges should be viewed as presumptively prejudicial on direct appeal and result in a remand for a Batson hearing. See Ex Parte Yelder, 575 So.2d 137, 139 (Ala.), cert. denied, \u2014 U.S. -, 112 S.Ct. 273, 116 L.Ed.2d 225 (1991). As indicated above, we think under our cases the record on direct appeal must show more than a failure to make a timely objection. We do not believe the record in this case shows any more than that. As a consequence, if we remand, in effect we have eliminated the rule established in this case that a Batson challenge must be made before the jury is sworn.\nAbsent a sufficient showing of ineffective assistance of counsel to justify remand for an evidentiary hearing on that claim, Defendant\u2019s argument is not properly before us. See Richardson, 114 N.M. at 729, 845 P.2d at 823. We conclude that the record on appeal does not establish a prima facie case of ineffective assistance of counsel. Defendant\u2019s claim in this instance is more appropriately suited to a post-conviction motion pursuant to SCRA 1986, 5-802 (Repl.1992). See, e.g., Government of Virgin Islands v. Forte, 865 F.2d 59, 64-65 (3d Cir.1989); cf. People v. Reyes, 161 A.D.2d 201, 554 N.Y.S.2d 587, 588 (N.Y.App.Div.1990) (writ of coram nobis).\nDefendant also argues that he did not receive effective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel failed to call April and Joe Orcato to testify on Defendant\u2019s behalf. However, the alleged testimony of the two witnesses is not a matter of record, and thus it cannot be reviewed on appeal. Powers, 111 N.M. at 12, 800 P.2d at 1069.\nFinally, Defendant notes that defense counsel failed to object to the prosecutor\u2019s method of questioning his wife due to her hearing impairment and did not adequately impeach Steve Crawford and Toby Romero. The decision to object is a matter of strategy and tactics on which we will not attempt to second-guess trial counsel. See State v. Rodriguez, 107 N.M. 611, 615, 762 P.2d 898, 902 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 107 N.M. 546, 761 P.2d 424 (1988). We cannot say on this record that defense counsel failed to \u201cexercise [the] skill, judgment and diligence of a reasonably competent defense attorney.\u201d See State v. McGuinty, 97 N.M. 360, 363, 639 P.2d 1214, 1217 (Ct.App.1982). We need not address Defendant\u2019s contention regarding the lesser-included offense instruction because we have addressed that issue on the merits.\nVI. AGGRAVATING FACTORS\nDefendant suggests that aggravating circumstances must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. However, he fails to cite any authority for his position. See In re Adoption of Doe, 100 N.M. 764, 765, 676 P.2d 1329, 1330 (1984) (we need not address arguments unsupported by cited authority). We will uphold the trial court\u2019s aggravation of a sentence if the circumstances relied on are supported in the record and constitute proper factors to consider under the enhancement statute. See State v. Bernal, 106 N.M. 117, 119, 739 P.2d 986, 988 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 106 N.M. 81, 738 P.2d 1326 (1987). We agree with Defendant regarding one factor. We discuss the other factors first.\nDefendant seems to contest harm to Complainant as an aggravating circumstance for two reasons. To the extent he argues that harm to Complainant is already taken into account by the legislature in its creation of the offense of CSP II involving personal injury, we disagree. Defendant was convicted of CSP II based on his use of a deadly weapon. Consideration of harm to the victim is not repetitive. Defendant also argues that there is always some harm to the victim of any violent crime. That is true. However, it is well settled that the court may take into account the circumstances surrounding the offense, and in so doing may include the extent of harm to the victim. See Bernal, 106 N.M. at 118, 739 P.2d at 987. Evidence of Complainant\u2019s physical injuries and psychological trauma were sufficient to support the trial court\u2019s exercise of discretion in relying on the harm to Complainant as an aggravating circumstance. See id.\nDefendant also contends that the trial court improperly relied on his lack of remorse as an aggravating circumstance. See State v. James, 109 N.M. 278, 281-84, 784 P.2d 1021, 1024-27 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 109 N.M. 262, 784 P.2d 1005 (1989). However, in James, this Court expressed concern for lack of remorse as an aggravating circumstance when it is interwoven with a trial court\u2019s concern about suspected perjury. Moreover, our Supreme Court has stated that lack of remorse can be a proper aggravating circumstance. See Swafford v. State, 112 N.M. 3, 17, 810 P.2d 1223, 1237 (1991). In this case, the trial court addressed itself to a pattern Defendant had exhibited over the course of several years for not taking responsibility for his own actions and showing little remorse for the effect of his actions on others. Because the court did not express concern about suspected perjury, and because the court considered Defendant\u2019s lack of remorse over a long period of time in a variety of situations, we believe that the trial court did not err by using lack of remorse as an aggravating circumstance. Id.\nDefendant suggests that there is no evidence to support the trial court\u2019s determination that he harmed his own family and harm to his family should not have been considered. The trial court relied on the alibi Defendant\u2019s wife provided and the letter she wrote in his support. We agree that there is no direct or circumstantial evidence that would support consideration of harm to Defendant\u2019s wife as an aggravating circumstance. The evidence in the record required speculation about Defendant\u2019s role in inducing the alibi and the letters, and the evidence involved conduct not directly related to Defendant\u2019s dangerousness or candidacy for rehabilitation. We do not believe that the legislature contemplated allowing the trial court to consider such consequences of the crime to be included as an aggravating circumstance. See Bernal, 106 N.M. at 118-19, 739 P.2d at 987-88. Furthermore, it seems to have overlapped with a concern about Defendant\u2019s lack of remorse. Under these circumstances, we believe the Supreme Court has indicated that the proper course is to remand for resentencing. See Swafford, 112 N.M. at 17 n. 11, 810 P.2d at 1237 n. 11.\nVII. CONCLUSION\nDefendant contends that cumulative error, especially at the sentencing stage, deprived him of a fair trial. We have identified no error other than in the course of sentencing, which did not affect Defendant\u2019s right to receive a fair trial, but rather requires a remand for resentencing. Accordingly, although we affirm Defendant\u2019s convictions, we vacate Defendant\u2019s judgment and sentence and remand this case to the trial court for resentencing.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nBIVINS, J., concurs.\nCHAVEZ, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.",

        "text": "CHAVEZ, Judge\n(concurring in part and dissenting in part).\nI do not agree with the majority opinion\u2019s determination that Defendant was not entitled to the lesser-included-offense instruction of CSP III. I believe there was evidence presented at trial tending to establish that the sexual offenses were committed without the use of a gun which entitled Defendant to a CSP III instruction for each of the CSP II counts submitted to the jury. In addition, I do not agree that defense counsel\u2019s failure to object to the prosecutor\u2019s seemingly discriminatory use of peremptory challenges during jury selection did not amount to a prima facie case of ineffective assistance of counsel. Because I would reverse on the jury instruction issue or remand for a Batson hearing on the jury selection issue, I dissent. See Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986). I concur, however, in the dispositions of the remaining trial and sentencing issues.\nA. LESSER-INCLUDED-OFFENSE INSTRUCTION\nAs the majority opinion states, a defendant is entitled to a lesser-included-offense instruction if there is some view of the evidence tending to establish the lesser offense as the highest degree of the crime committed. State v. Fish, 102 N.M. 775, 779, 701 P.2d 374, 378 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 102 N.M. 734, 700 P.2d 197 (1985). The difference between the two degrees of CSP in this case is whether or not a gun was used in the commission of the offense. There was evidence in this case that could establish that Defendant did not use a gun during the attack on Complainant, even though the evidence adduced at trial surrounding the issue of the gun was conflicting. Complainant testified that Defendant gained entry to her house, took her to an upstairs bedroom by force, handcuffed her, and then pulled a holstered gun out of his pocket, which he used to threaten her. Defendant, on the other hand, testified he did not own the gun the police found at Complainant\u2019s house a week after the attack and that he had seen the gun in question in Complainant\u2019s possession a month before the incident. Furthermore, Defendant\u2019s wife also testified to seeing the gun in Complainant\u2019s car a month before the incident and the police found no fingerprint evidence connecting the gun or the holster to Defendant. Thus, the conflict in the evidence was whether Defendant had the gun and holster in his pocket and brought' the gun into Complainant\u2019s house on the night of the attack, as Complainant claims, or whether the gun was Complainant\u2019s and was never in Defendant\u2019s possession to be used during any attack, as Defendant claims.\nThe trial court rejected any view of the evidence that would have justified giving a CSP III instruction for the stated reason that the testimony of Complainant had to be taken as \u201ca complete package\u201d and accepted or rejected in its entirety. The trial court came to this conclusion because Defendant had generally presented an alibi defense, denying he was involved in any way with the attack on Complainant. The majority opinion affirms based on the trial court\u2019s reasoning, citing to State v. Manus, 93 N.M. 95, 101, 597 P.2d 280, 286 (1979), overruled on other grounds, Sells v. State, 98 N.M. 786, 653 P.2d 162 (1982), for the proposition that a lesser-included-offense instruction is not warranted if the evidence would have to be fragmented to the point of distortion for the lesser offense to be the highest degree of offense committed. I do not believe, however, that any distortion is necessary to obtain some view of the evidence tending to establish that Defendant did indeed rape Complainant, but did not use a gun during the attack.\nThe majority is correct in stating that a jury would have to reject Defendant\u2019s alibi defense but believe his testimony about the gun. In other words, they would have to accept Complainant\u2019s testimony about the attack in general but reject her testimony about the gun in order to find Defendant guilty solely of CSP III. The majority finds this kind of fragmentation of the evidence impermissible in the context of entitlement to a lesser-included-offense instruction. This kind of fragmentation occurs at trial on a regular basis, however, when juries believe only parts of a witness\u2019s testimony or accept only parts of the evidence presented by the prosecution or defense. If this was not the case, there would be no trials in which the verdict resulted in conviction on some charges and acquittal on others.\nThe majority also states that there must be some evidence to support the lesser-included-offense instruction other than that obtained from taking parts of testimony from the victim and parts from Defendant. I need not decide whether I agree with this statement because it does not apply in this case. There was other evidence to corroborate Defendant\u2019s testimony about the gun \u2014 his wife\u2019s testimony and the lack of fingerprint evidence. This corroborating evidence puts Defendant\u2019s case on a par with Fish, in which no knife being found supported the defendant\u2019s testimony that he did not use a knife in the incident, and State v. Benavidez, 94 N.M. 706, 707, 616 P.2d 419, 420 (1980), overruled on other grounds, Sells, 98 N.M. at 786, 653 P.2d at 162, in which another witness testified about the defendant\u2019s gesture with his arm; in both of those cases, a lesser-included instruction was given.\nThe majority opinion ends by saying Defendant was either innocent of any crime or guilty of CSP II. From this statement and from the cases the opinion cites from other jurisdictions, the majority seems to take the view that Defendant was not entitled to a CSP III instruction just because he asserted an alibi defense at trial. This is not the law in New Mexico and I would not so hold. See State v. Privett, 104 N.M. 79, 81, 717 P.2d 55, 57 (1986); Benavidez, 94 N.M. at 708, 616 P.2d at 421.\nIn sum, there is a legitimate view of the evidence in this case that Defendant did not use a gun during the sexual assault which could sustain a finding that the lesser offense of CSP III was the highest degree of the crime committed. Fish, 102 N.M. at 779, 701 P.2d at 378. Relying on settled New Mexico precedent, I believe that Defendant was entitled to a CSP III instruction. Accordingly, I would reverse Defendant\u2019s CSP II convictions and remand for a new trial on those charges.\nB. INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL FOR UNTIMELY BAT-SON CHALLENGE\nThe majority opinion does not reach the issue of whether Defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel due to the untimeliness of his objection to the prosecutor\u2019s seemingly discriminatory use of peremptory challenges at trial. The majority reasons that Defendant failed to establish a prima facie case of ineffective assistance because trial counsel might have been implementing a plausible, rational strategy or tactic which is not apparent from the record on appeal. I disagree with this reasoning in Defendant\u2019s case and would hold that trial counsel\u2019s performance was deficient because he did not make a timely objection to discrimination by the State in the jury-selection process.\nAs a preliminary matter, I believe Defendant made a prima facie showing of discriminatory use of peremptory challenges by the State. Defendant is white. The State used one hundred percent of its peremptory challenges to remove Hispanic venirepersons from the panel. Under State v. Gonzales, 111 N.M. 590, 596-97, 808 P.2d 40, 46-47 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 111 N.M. 416, 806 P.2d 65 (1991), this constitutes a prima facie showing of intentional discrimination that states a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. See Powers v. Ohio, 499 U.S. 400, 111 S.Ct. 1364, 113 L.Ed.2d 411 (1991) (defendant has standing to object to race-based exclusions of jurors even when defendant is not same race as excluded jurors). The issue of ineffective assistance of counsel must be examined in light of the prima facie case of racial discrimination in jury selection established by Defendant through his attorney\u2019s untimely objection.\nThe standard by which an attorney\u2019s conduct must be assessed when determining whether a defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel is an objective one. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687-88, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 2064-65, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984) (\u201cWhen a convicted defendant complains of the ineffectiveness of counsel\u2019s assistance, the defendant must show that counsel\u2019s representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness.\u201d). Thus, not just any plausible strategy or tactic on the part of defense counsel will suffice to meet the constitutional standard of objective reasonableness. The attorney\u2019s conduct should be measured against the range of competence expected of criminal defense attorneys. See id. The possible strategies listed in the majority opinion for defense counsel\u2019s failure to object in this case might be plausible. Indeed, defense counsel may even have had a rational tactic in mind when he waived, through default, Defendant\u2019s vital right to challenge the fairness of the selection of the jury. Cf. Powers, 499 U.S. at 411, 111 S.Ct. at 1371 (discriminatory use of peremptory challenges harms a defendant because \u201cracial discrimination in the selection of jurors \u2018casts doubt on the integrity of the judicial process,\u2019 ... and places the fairness of a criminal proceeding in doubt.\u201d) (quoting Rose v. Mitchell, 443 U.S. 545, 556, 99 S.Ct. 2993, 3000, 61 L.Ed.2d 739 (1979). However, I do not believe making an untimely objection .to discriminatory jury selection, with the result that the injustice cannot be cured at trial or on appeal, is reasonable by the norms and standards of the legal profession in New Mexico.\nCourts from other jurisdictions that have considered this issue in cases presenting the same or similar facts as those presented by Defendant\u2019s ease, support the conclusion that counsel\u2019s performance was deficient when he did not make his objection in time for it to\naccomplish its goal. See Ex Parte Yelder, 575 So.2d 137, 139 (Ala.1991) (failure of counsel to make timely Batson objection to prima facie case of purposeful discrimination by state in jury selection process is ineffective assistance of counsel and prejudice will be presumed), cert. denied, \u2014 U.S. -, 112 S.Ct. 273, 116 L.Ed.2d 225 (1991); Jackson v. Thigpen, 752 F.Supp. 1551, 1562 (N.D.Ala.1990) (counsel\u2019s failure to object at all to prosecutor\u2019s blatantly discriminatory use of peremptory challenges was not a \u201creasonable exercise of professional judgment\u201d and constituted ineffective assistance of counsel); Williams v. State, 834 S.W.2d 85, 87 (Tex.Ct.App.1992) (trial counsel\u2019s performance deficient in not raising Batson issue on timely basis); Batiste v. State, 834 S.W.2d 460, 466 (Tex.Ct.App.1992) (same); cf. People v. Reyes, 151 A.D.2d 262, 542 N.Y.S.2d 178, 179 (N.Y.App.Div.1989) (appellate counsel\u2019s failure to raise Batson claim on appeal, where prosecutor had peremptorily removed all Hispanic venirepersons at trial, constituted ineffective assistance of appellate counsel); Government of Virgin Islands v. Forte, 865 F.2d 59, 64-65 (3d Cir.1989) (counsel\u2019s conduct in failing-to object to seemingly discriminatory use of peremptory challenges when counsel knew Batson was pending in the Supreme Court was unreasonable under prevailing standards). What is notable about the cited cases is that none of the courts involved.discussed the possible strategic reasons for untimely or missing Batson objections; rather, the courts determined that the conduct in question was objectively unreasonable and quickly turned to the harder question involved in the issue before them, that of prejudice to the defendant from counsel\u2019s deficient performance.\nThese courts have devised a range of approaches to analyzing the question of prejudice in their eases. The Alabama Supreme Court has taken the simplest approach by holding that prejudice will be presumed when defense counsel is ineffective for not making a timely Batson objection where the claim has merit. Yelder, 575 So.2d at 139. Texas, on the other hand, conducts a harmless error analysis for constitutional error. See Williams, 834 S.W.2d at 85. The approach that makes the most sense to me involves tying prejudice to whether the defendant would have prevailed on his or her Batson objection. If the defendant would have prevailed, then he or she has been prejudiced by the incompetence of the trial attorney and is entitled to a new trial. See Yelder, 575 So.2d at 139; Jackson, 752 F.Supp. at 1561-62; Forte, 865 F.2d at 64-65.\nI believe this approach to be the most prudent and the fairest to both parties in a criminal prosecution. Following the majority of jurisdictions, I would find that Defendant established a prima facie case of ineffective assistance of counsel based on the untimely Batson-type objection. I would remand his case for a hearing and reverse in the event the trial court found the State used its peremptory challenges to discriminate against Hispanies during jury selection.",
