View this case - free  

Overview: In a trial for felony false imprisonment under Pen. Code § 236, the facts as to force were sufficiently ambiguous that the failure to instruct on the misdemeanor offense was not harmless. Defendant grabbed the victim and pulled her; the determination as to which offense applied depended on the actual force defendant used in drawing her toward him.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although a prosecutor misstated the law of murder and voluntary manslaughter without objection, defendant did not receive ineffective assistance of counsel because defendant was not entitled to a manslaughter instruction; the victim's name-calling was insufficient to provoke a sudden quarrel or heat of passion under Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (a).

View this case - free  

Overview: Motions to disclose the identity of an informant and quash a warrant were properly denied because there was no Fifth or Sixth Amendment violation, even assuming that the informant was defendants' lawyer. The purported breach of attorney-client privilege came before the right to counsel attached and there was no showing of government misconduct.

People v. Petrisca, B188294, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION EIGHT, March 30, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Granting a motion to recuse an entire district attorney's office was error, even though one deputy district attorney was the son of a deceased victim, because the trial court applied an incorrect standard under Pen. Code, § 1424, when it based its decision on the discomfort of the DA's office rather than on conflict of interest.
