People v. Lopezgreen1 sentence2021(Ibid.; see also People v. Lopez, supra, 198 Cal.App.4th at p. 708 [“Instructions should be interpreted, if possible, to support the judgment rather than defeat it if they are reasonably susceptible to such interpretation”].)

People v. Phillips

1 sentence2024(E.g., People v. Lopez (2021) 65 Cal.App.5th 484 , 489, 501–503; People v. Phillips (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 1307 , 1309–1310.) In Lopez, the appellate court noted defense counsel “had an extensive opportunity to inquire into any bias a juror may have had and to elicit additional information that could have revealed the juror’s withholding of relevant facts.” (Lopez, at p. 502.) Defendant contends the seating mistake impaired his ability to exercise informed peremptory challenges. | 1 | 2024–2024 |
People v. Webb
green
1 sentence2021You do not all need to agree on the same theory, but you must unanimously agree whether the murder is in the first or second degree.” (Id. at p. 906.) The appellate court noted the instruction expressly stated unanimity was required as to “degree” but found there was some ambiguity because the instruction also referred to malice aforethought and felony murder as different “theories.” (Webb, supra, 25 Cal.App.5th at p. 907 .) Here, as in Webb, the instruction explicitly stated, “you must agree unanimously as to whether he is guilty of murder of the first degree or murder of the second degree or | 1 | 2021–2021 |

People v. American Bankers Insurance Co. of Florida
green
1 sentence1996Also, when a statute requires a court to exercise its jurisdiction in a particular manner, to follow a particular procedure, or to act subject to certain limitations, an act beyond those limits is in excess of its jurisdiction. ( 227 Cal.App.3d at p. 1294 .) It was true the statute provided that if the clerk failed to mail the notice of forfeiture within 30 days to the bail agent, the surety would be released from the bond. (227 Cal.App.3d at pp. 1294-1295.) However, in this case, because the bail agent had actual notice, strict construction of the statute would result in an absurdity. | 1 | 1996–1996 |
