People v. Jonesgreen2 sentences2015During closing argument, the prosecutor stated, “‘Suppose instead of being [the mother’s] kid this had happened to one of your 12 children.’” In People v. Jones (1970) 7 Cal.App.3d 358, 363 (Jones), also cited by defendant, the defendant made an unprovoked attack on innocent victims, striking one of them with an iron bar. 2015The prosecutor appealed to the fears and emotions of the jurors by stating that the sons of the jurors and their girlfriends should not dare to ride motorcycles into the defendant’s area, because he “reacts very seriously.” (Id. at pp. 361-362.) The courts in both Pensinger and Jones held that the prosecutor’s statements were misconduct, but that the misconduct was not prejudicial, because there was no reasonable probability that either defendant would have obtained a more favorable result had the jury been admonished by the trial court.

Sara M. v. Superior Courtgreen2 sentences2007As our Supreme Court recently noted, sometimes “ ‘[c]hildhood does not wait for the parent to become adequate.’ ” (Sara M. v.

For each and all of the above reasons, we hold that section 361.5, subdivision (a)(1) does not establish an iron rule that the parent of a dependent child who is over the age of three is entitled to, and must always receive, 12 months of reunification services. 2007As our Supreme Court recently noted, sometimes “ ‘[c]hildhood does not wait for the parent to become adequate.’ ” (Sara M. v.

People v. Faubergreen1 sentence1995Since the instruction given was not reasonably likely to have been understood as inviting the jurors to "weigh" each special circumstance twice ( People v. Fauber, supra, 2 Cal.4th at p. 858), it was neither deficient performance on counsel's part, nor prejudicial to defendant's case, to forego a special instruction. [25] In his reply brief defendant argues the prior acquittal was "necessarily based on an acceptance of the fact that Mr. Cain used neither an iron bar nor a rock...." The record does not support this claim. | 1 | 1 |
