People v.

Clemens v. Regents of University of Californiagreen2 sentences2002(See Province v.

Regents of University of California (1971) 20 Cal.App.3d 356, 361 [ 97 Cal.Rptr. 589 ].) Thus, where a juror initially failed to disclose his prejudgment of the case during voir dire and subsequently repeated that prejudged position throughout the trial and deliberations, the court found prejudicial misconduct. 2002(See Province v.

People v. KEICHLER
green
1 sentence2025In fact, defense counsel brought the issue to the court’s attention by objecting to the prosecutor’s argument twice on the ground that it improperly referred to 4 Although a restitution hearing “ ‘does not require the formalities of other phases of a criminal prosecution’ ” (People v. Keichler (2005) 129 Cal.App.4th 1039, 1048 ), a restitution order must still be supported by substantial evidence. | 1 | 2025–2025 |
People v. Holt
green
1 sentence2025The instruction reinforced that message by stating that CSAAS “is not evidence that the defendant committed any of the crimes charged” and may be considered “only in deciding whether or not [JD1 and JD2’s] conduct was not inconsistent with the conduct of someone who has been molested, and in evaluating the believability of [their] testimony.” Nothing in this record rebuts our presumption that the jury understood and followed that instruction (People v.

green
1 sentence2023(People v. Czirban (2021) 67 Cal.App.5th 1073 , 1096– 1097.) Nothing in the record rebuts this presumption, especially given that defense counsel cited section 1170, subdivision (b), to the trial court (albeit in a sentencing memorandum and not at the hearing) and submitted letters citing mitigating factors, and the trial court referred to Griffin’s childhood at the hearing. | 1 | 2023–2023 |

1 sentence2021(See People v. Williams (2009) 170 Cal.App.4th 587, 607 .)

1 sentence1990In sum, given “the strength of the evidence that misconduct occurred, the nature and seriousness of the misconduct, and the probability that actual prejudice may have ensued,” i.e., the “substantial likelihood” that the jurors were impermissibly influenced to Hawes’s detriment (see Hasson v.
