Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file two criminal law opinions.
People v. Eid raises the question: Can a defendant be convicted of two separate, uncharged, lesser included offenses of a single charged offense if the lesser offenses are not included in each other?
In People v. Vargas, the Supreme Court limited the parties’ argument to the issue whether the trial court abused its discretion under People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, by failing to dismiss one of defendant’s two strikes, given that they arose from the same act.
Vargas was argued in early May. Eid was on the court’s late-May calendar.
The opinions can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
