COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION ONE, June 5, 2006, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Trial court should have considered a child's best interests when considering grandparents' petition under Welf. & Inst. Code, § 388, to reinstate in their home a grandchild who had been in their care for 20 months, most of her life. Refusal to consider grandparents' remedial efforts supported a conclusion that the agency abused its discretion.

People v. Brown, C048147,
COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT, June 5, 2006, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Defendant's acquittal for elder abuse did not bar his retrial for assault and battery because his case presented only a continuing prosecution and not successive prosecutions; the protections against double jeopardy in U.S. Const., 5th Amend., Cal. Const., art. I, § 15, and Pen. Code, §§ 654 & 1023, applied only to successive prosecutions.

Overview: Defendant's conviction for concealing or destroying evidence in violation of Pen. Code, § 135, was not a misdemeanor related to drugs. Therefore, defendant was ineligible for treatment under Proposition 36, the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000, Pen. Code, §§ 1210 & 1210.1.

People v. Budwiser, C049566,
COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT, June 7, 2006, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Pen. Code, § 1210.1, subd. (e)(3)(A), (B), did not require separate revocation hearings on two petitions. Substantial evidence supported a finding that defendant was unamenable to treatment under § 1210.1, subd. (e)(3)(B), because he was removed from a treatment program for three dirty tests and was found with a whizanator strapped to his penis.

People v. Sandoval, D045846,
COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION ONE, June 7, 2006, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Defendant was entitled under Pen. Code, § 1018, to withdraw a guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter; a package deal plea agreement with three codefendants who were members of his gang was coercive because of a threat from a codefendant, the benefit to the codefendants from his plea, and the trial judge's favorable comments about the offer.
