|
Overview: Although Welf. & Inst. Code, ¿ 361.3, subd. (d), did not eliminate the relative placement preference after initial placement and during the family reunification period, failure to give preference to an aunt and to state reasons under ¿ 361.3, subd. (e), were harmless errors because there were compelling reasons not to place the child with her.

COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, June 3, 2008, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Substantial evidence supported defendant's conviction under Pen. Code, ¿ 289, subd. (d)(4), for sexual penetration of a person unconscious of the nature of the act; in his role as an unpaid pastor, defendant could purport to have a professional purpose for his actions, and the victim's testimony established that she was misled as to his intentions.

People v. Mauch, G038602,
COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION THREE, June 3, 2008, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: A trial court lacked authority to reduce defendant's conviction, following a guilty plea, for felony cultivation of marijuana, in violation of Health & Saf. Code, ¿ 11358, to a misdemeanor because the legislature had determined violation of ¿ 11358 to be a felony offense without also prescribing alternate, misdemeanor punishment.

People v. Treadway, G038824,
COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION THREE, June 3, 2008, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: When defendant committed a new drunk driving offense under Veh. Code, ¿ 23152, after the amendment of Veh. Code, ¿ 23550, to increase the look-back period from seven to 10 years, he was on notice of the amended law; thus, the use of a prior offense that was more than seven but less than 10 years old did not result in an ex post facto violation.
