People v. Thomasgreen

1961“The word ‘specific’ (adjective) means ‘Precisely formulated or restricted; definite, . . . explicit; of an exact or particular nature. ...” (People v. Thomas, 25 Cal.2d 880, 898 [ 156 P.2d 7 ].) In view of what took place when the jury returned to the courtroom for instruction as to what was meant by “specific,” it is not reasonably probable that the instructions on general intent caused the jury to misunderstand the instruction as to specific intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the owner of title to or possession of the automobile.

1959It was urged that an order granting such a motion could not be effective unless the judge “betake himself to the courtroom in which the hearing had been had and there mount the bench and formally and audibly pronounce an order granting the motion for a new trial, and that by no other method could such an order be lawfully rendered.” ( 197 Cal. at 692 .) The court rejected this contention and held that, in addition to the suggested method, the method followed by the trial judge was entirely proper.

2019First, strictly as a matter of textual analysis, the trial court’s reading of section 1382 conforms with the rule against surplusage in statutory construction (People v. Valencia (2017) 3 Cal.5th 347, 357 ), while Daws’s proposed reading does not.

2019We review the court’s exercise of its inherent authority for abuse of discretion, bearing in mind that “ ‘the determination of whether the trial court selected the proper legal standard[] in making [a discretionary] determination is reviewed de novo.’ ” (Fox v. Superior Court (2018) 21 Cal.App.5th 529, 533 .) Exercising our independent judgment on the predicate question of statutory construction presented here, four considerations lead us to conclude that the trial court’s interpretation of section 1382, subdivision (a)(3)(A) was correct, and that, as a result, the trial judge did not abuse he

2016(People v. Cunningham, supra, 25 Cal.4th at p. 989 .) Those circumstances include “the opportunity of the witness to view the suspect at the time of the offense, the witness’s degree of attention at the time of the offense, the accuracy of his or her prior description of the suspect, the level of certainty demonstrated at the time of the identification, and the lapse of time between the offense and the identification.” (Ibid.)

2014We decline to reweigh the evidence. “‘“When two or more inferences can reasonably be deduced from the facts, the reviewing court has no authority to substitute its decision for that of the trial court.”’” (Lister v. Bowen, supra, 215 Cal.App.4th at p. 333 .) Based on the evidence presented, we cannot say ‘““the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason.”’” (Ibid.) Because all mother has shown was that she had was “‘a subjective fear” father would “‘commit abusive acts in the future’” (id. at p. 332), the court did not abuse its discretion in denying mother’s request to renew the restraining or

2010In Morrow “[t]he eavesdropping occurred inside a courtroom and was orchestrated by the prosecutor, an officer of the court.” (Morrow, supra, 30 Cal.App.4th at p. 1260 .) Thus, “the misconduct took place within the hallowed confines of the courtroom where the rule of law and fairness should be revered.” (Id., at p. 1261.) Furthermore, the misconduct violated the “higher ethical standards” that courts expect from prosecutors.
