People v. Riberored

1988Such a claim requires a certificate of probable cause. ( People v. Ribero (1971) 4 Cal.3d 55, 62-64 [ 92 Cal. Rptr. 692 , 480 P.2d 308 ].) The issue defendant argues on appeal, however, is inadequate reason for denying probation and imposing a prison sentence. [4] Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1961) defines the term "operative" to mean "producing an appropriate or designed effect." (P. 1581.) [5] In 1972, the second paragraph of rule 31(d) was amended to include an additional exception to the requirement of a certificate of probable cause: a search or seizure issue.

1998As we also recently explained in Panizzon and Jones , the second paragraph of rule 31(d) implements this exception to the general rule by providing as follows: An appeal of this sort may be taken without a statement of grounds by the defendant and a certificate of probable cause by the trial court if it is "based solely upon grounds (1) occurring after entry of the plea which do not challenge its validity or (2) involving a search or seizure, the validity of which was contested pursuant to section 1538.5 of the Penal Code"; it does not become "operative," however, "unless the notice of appeal

2001As noted earlier, CALJIC No. 2.15 has generally been held to be favorable to a defendant by telling the jury possession of stolen property alone is insufficient to permit an inference that defendant is guilty of the charged crime. {Johnson, supra, 6 Cal.4th at p. 37 .) The second paragraph of the instruction tells the jury it “may consider” the categories of additional corroborating evidence listed, but does not require the jury to take them into account. {Mendoza, supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 177 .) Further, the trial court not only instructed the jury on the required elements of murder, but also

2001As noted earlier, CALJIC No. 2.15 has generally been held to be favorable to a defendant by telling the jury possession of stolen property alone is insufficient to permit an inference that defendant is guilty of the charged crime. {Johnson, supra, 6 Cal.4th at p. 37 .) The second paragraph of the instruction tells the jury it “may consider” the categories of additional corroborating evidence listed, but does not require the jury to take them into account. {Mendoza, supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 177 .) Further, the trial court not only instructed the jury on the required elements of murder, but also

1978Italics in original.) The court in Williams, citing People v. Hardy, supra, stated that: “[the trial court] should have composed an instruction that informed the jurors that if they found beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant acted as if he were conscious, a rebuttable presumption arose that he was conscious, as to which defendant had the burden of raising a reasonable doubt.” ( 22 Cal.App.3d at p. 57 .) As revised, No. 4.31 fails to do this.
