2024It is, therefore, reasonably probable the error affected the verdict adversely to defendant.” (Id. at p. 1072.) What defendant here overlooks is that in Minifie the high court said the evidence of third-party threats was admissible “to support a claim of self- defense if there is also evidence from which the jury may find that the defendant reasonably associated the victim with those threats.” (Minifie, supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 1060 , italics added.) In other words, in that case, there was a nexus between the proffered evidence and the defense.

1998The appellate court, noting that the robbery term had neither been attacked on appeal nor criticized in its earlier opinion as unlawful, found the robbery term had been impermissibly increased by two years in violation of the bar of double jeopardy. ( People v. Price, supra, 184 Cal.App.3d at p. 1413 , 229 Cal.Rptr. 550 .) What defendant does not acknowledge about Price is that the case as a whole falls into the exception for unauthorized or unlawful sentences.

2026(Banks, supra, 61 Cal.4th at p. 803 .) In connection with his claim of insufficiency of evidence to support a finding he was a major participant, defendant argues the robbery was “‘garden variety,’” that the record demonstrates that the crime was committed at “spur of the moment,” that the “entire incident transpired in mere minutes,” and that the evidence establishes he did not intend for the robbery to have lethal consequences.

2023(Martinez, supra, 76 Cal.App.4th at p. 496 .) Similarly, with respect to the offender, we focus “on the particular person before the court, and ask[] whether the punishment is grossly disproportionate to the defendant’s individual culpability as shown by such factors as his age, prior criminality, personal characteristics, and state of mind.” (Dillon, at p. 479.) Here, defendant relies on his lack of any prior or subsequent criminal history and the probation officer’s risk assessment indicating a below average risk of recidivism to suggest his offense is an aberration and unlikely to reoccur,

2022Our high court analyzed certain aspects of the wage order seating requirement in Kilby, supra. There, the court addressed three questions certified by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals: (1) Does the “nature of the work” refer to individual tasks or the entire range of an employee’s duties? (2) What factors should courts consider to determine whether the nature of the work “reasonably permits” the use of a seat? (3) If an employer has not provided any seat, must an employee prove a suitable seat is 6Nothing in this opinion should be construed as adopting, or rejecting, such a rule. 16 availabl

2022(Kilby, supra, 63 Cal.4th at p. 8 .) Although the court did not directly consider what an employer must do to “provide” suitable seating, the nature of the court’s inquiry is of some assistance.
