View this case - free

People v. Celis, No. B182346, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION SIX, July 18, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Murder conviction under Pen. Code, §§ 187, 189, could be based on defendant's conduct as an aider and abettor after another person delivered the fatal blow but before the victim died because the victim's death was a sine qua non of murder and the crime could not be complete until the victim died. The court was not required to instruct otherwise.

In re Baby Boy M., B184199, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION SEVEN, July 19, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In dependency proceedings, the juvenile court erred in holding jurisdictional and dispositional hearings when a child could not be found; because the mother testified that she gave the child to the father for him to take the child out-of-state, there was insufficient evidence that California had subject matter jurisdiction under Fam. Code, § 3421.
