View this case - free

Code, § 12940, an employer was not entitled to JNOV on liability, even though the case contained strong same-actor evidence, because there was also substantial evidence that the supervisor who hired, promoted, and terminated the employee had formed the intent to make race- and gender-based personnel decisions.

View this case - free

People v. Garcia, B194011, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION SEVEN, April 21, 2008, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because assault with a deadly weapon or with a firearm was inherently dangerous, trial court properly concluded that evidence would not support defendant's conviction for involuntary manslaughter under Pen. Code, § 192, and, therefore, did not err in declining to instruct the jury on involuntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense of murder.

People v. Zamudio, S074414, SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA, April 21, 2008, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a capital murder case, the Fourth Amendment did not require suppression of evidence because defendant's consent to an examination of his shoes was not rendered involuntary, given that he was not detained. He went with relatives to the police station as a witness, waited in a nonsecure area between interviews, and was not threatened or accused.

View this case - free  

Overview: Mobilehome park owner's refusal to lease undeveloped spaces to a dealer did not violate the Cartwright Act, Bus. & Prof. Code, § 16700 et seq., because prospective tenants were not forced to buy their mobilehomes from specific dealers; thus, there was no tying arrangement under Bus. & Prof. Code, § 16720.
