View this case - free  

Overview: Although Pen. Code §§ 790, subd. (b), 954.1, provided authority to consolidate five murders occurring in Orange and Los Angeles Counties in the 1970s, two of the Los Angeles charges should have been severed because of due process concerns relating to cross-admissibility. They did not share all similarities of other three cases and had DNA evidence.

View this case - free  

Overview: In determining the average weekly earnings of an attorney who was injured while on jury duty, Lab. Code, § 4453, subd.

View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court's denial of defendant's motion to withdraw his no contest plea was an abuse of discretion because the trial court did not advise defendant that the sex offender registration requirement under Pen.
