On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file opinions in two criminal law cases, both of which were argued on the late-May calendar.
In People v. Shazier, the court will decide whether the Court of Appeal correctly reversed an order of commitment for prejudicial prosecutorial misconduct at a third commitment trial under the Sexually Violent Predator Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600 et seq.).
People v. Merriman is an automatic appeal from a May 2001 judgment of death.
The opinions can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
