Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file two criminal law opinions.
In People v. Davis, the court will decide whether substantial evidence supported defendant’s convictions for possession and sale of a controlled substance even though MDMA/Ecstasy is not expressly listed as a controlled substance subject to Health and Safety Code sections 11377 and 11379, and the prosecution did not present expert testimony that MDMA/Ecstasy contains a controlled substance or is an analog of a controlled substance. Davis was argued on the court’s late-May calendar.
People v. Rogers, which was on the early-May calendar, is a direct automatic appeal from a July 1999 judgment of death.
The opinions can be viewed online tomorrow beginning at 10:00 a.m.
