2021In 1984 defendant pleaded guilty to kidnapping to commit robbery. (§ 209, subd. (b).) The trial court sentenced him to life in prison with the possibility of parole. 2 The Cook court explained that “proceeding” is a more appropriate term than “hearing” because the judicial officer overseeing the Franklin proceedings “is not called upon to make findings of fact or render any final determination.” (Cook, supra, 7 Cal.5th at p. 449, fn. 3 .) 2 Defendant had an initial parole consideration hearing in 1988 and a subsequent parole consideration hearing in 1993.

2022“The ballot materials presented to the voters consisted of three sections: the official title and summary prepared by the Attorney General, the analysis of the Legislative Analyst, and the arguments in favor of and against the proposition (an argument in favor by the proponents followed by a rebuttal by the opponents, and an argument against by the opponents followed by a rebuttal by the proponents).” (In re Gadlin, supra, 10 Cal.5th at p. 936 .)

2022“The analysis by the Legislative Analyst provided a broad description of the then-existing sentencing and parole consideration scheme.” (In re Gadlin, supra, 10 Cal.5th at 12 p. 936.) The Legislative Analyst first distinguished between indeterminate and determinate sentences and then, under the heading “parole consideration hearings” (bolding and capitalization omitted), explained: “After an individual serves the minimum number of years required for an indeterminate sentence, the [Board] conducts a parole consideration hearing to determine whether the individual is ready to be released from pr

2021DISCUSSION The Attorney General contends the superior court erred in three ways when it granted Freeman habeas corpus relief: (1) “the court granted relief on an unraised claim in contravention of habeas jurisprudence;” (2) “even if the superior court could consider an unraised claim, the court violated In re Shaputis II (2011) 53 Cal.4th 192, 220-221 (Shaputis II) by applying the wrong standard of judicial review and misconstruing the Board’s core function to assess inmates’ current dangerousness;” and (3) even assuming the superior court properly concluded that Freeman should be given a new

Defendant insists, however, that the prosecution misled the jury by failing to disclose that the BPT would reject the plea agreement by refusing to hold a parole consideration hearing within a year of the sentence, in November 1983. *186 Defendant suggests the June 1983 letter establishes the prosecutor, contrary to his testimony, knew as early as June 1982 that the BPT would not honor the agreement’s condition concerning ratification within a year of sentencing.
