Death penalty opinion filing tomorrow

July 30, 2014

Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in People v. Hensley, an automatic appeal from an October 1995 judgment of death.  Hensley was argued on the early-May calendar.

Besides Hensley, two other cases from the early-May calendar do not have opinions yet — Gregory v. Cott and People v. Capistrano.  To comply with the 90-day rule, the court will file those opinions on Monday.

The Hensley opinion can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
