Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its last opinions in cases currently pending after argument. These two opinions are for cases argued on the June calendar.
People v. Prunty is a criminal street gang participation case. The court will address whether evidence of a collaborative or organizational nexus was required before multiple subsets of the Norteños can be treated as a whole for the purpose of determining whether a group constitutes a criminal street gang within the meaning of Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision (f)?
People v. Romero and Self is an automatic appeal from August 1996 judgments of death.
This is the time of year for emptying the pipeline of pending, argued cases. After next week’s arguments, the court will have several more cases in the pipeline, but it could be a month or more before the court files its next opinion.
The opinions can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
